Re: Re: replacing variables in file

I want to read the include file in, replace the variables with any data present and then send the included file to the browser between some header and footer templates. I want the template to be straight html which can be edited with a wysiwyg editor if required. if I include the file as html I get errors as there are " and no valid syntax I my php block ie no ; i'd like to just do $formdata = (include($filelocation)); but this returns 1 and pts it in the variable, I need the html form in the variable. ----- Original Message ----- From: "CC Zona" <cczona@nospam.invalid> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Sunday, August 12, 2001 1:35 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: replacing variables in file | In article <000001c122b9$e055d460$7763883e@portable1>, | roberts_paul@bigfoot.com (Paul Roberts) wrote: | | > | $template="/path/to/somefile.inc"; | > | include($template); | > | | > | The variable substitution happens automatically (as long as $var occurs | > | within proper PHP syntax, such as "<?php $myvar1 ?>").
