fread strangeness (was: nested echo and includes, mixed html / PHP)

Same problem, found it's coming from somewhere else :( It looks as if fread or fopen is preventing PHP from from parsing ... index.php: <? $file="test.inc"; $fd = fopen ($file, "r"); $string = fread ($fd, filesize ($file)); fclose ($fd); echo "$string"; ?> test.inc: <html> <body> <? echo "this comes from inside of test.inc"; ?> </body> </html> index.html show a blank html page, with the contents of test.inc visible via view source...grr. how can I get it to actually parse the PHP? help! jaxon On 2/19/01 6:16 PM, "Jaxon" <jaxon@salamander.net> wrote: > Hi PHPers! > > I'm doing a simple page build by: > - reading file.html into $string > - reading variables into $array > > and then: > echo (strtr($string, $array); > > The file.html held in $string contains some PHP <?php include("file.inc") ?> > and file.inc also has some PHP <?php echo("this is inside file.inc)"; ?> > > I'm doing this to assemble the page via little 'modules'. > > This is not working, e.g. the PHP in $string is not getting parsed by PHP > before being output to the browser, although I DO see the PHP in the > resultant page source...any ideas? > > Any comments welcome! > > regards, > jaxon >
