Ever whished to evaluate an external file as a PHP script and get the result as string?
Exemple: you'd like to get the contents (and all PHP output) of a (text|XML|HTML) file after
having processed whatever PHP inclusion it may contain, to further process these contents.
You can do this:
<?php
$str = compile('file_to_process');
$str = do_more_things_with($str);
echo $str;
function compile($file) {
ob_start();
require $file;
return ob_get_clean();
}
?>
It *should* work without problem if the caller script already uses output buffering, since output
buffers are stackable (not tested yet).
