RE: [PHP] Re-engineering print()

Like when you have to to run a thousand of functions and IFs for then output it all in a simple $message to send as an email? then just use $staff .= whatever(); assign everything to one single variable and use it later on. $here .= from_there(); is the method to do that. Did I understand you your question well?

What I am looking for is not just storing the PHP in a variable (that, as you both have pointed out, is easy enough), but I want to EXECUTE the PHP script (including it's print statements and everything) and instead of having that output go directly to the browser, I want it to go to the variable. The solutions offered certainly do put the PHP into a variable, but it doesn't execute the PHP and have the output of the executed PHP get stored into the variable. Thanks for familiarizing me with implode(), though, as I'm sure to use that often.
