note 104442 added to function.include

@jdrjsbl: I'm new here, too, so this may not be 100% correct... First of all, I don't think you need additional <?php ?> tags around your include, because it's just another built in function (like echo). Secondly, it seems that you can't nest an include inside of an echo. I got your code to work by breaking the string in to two parts and putting the include on its own line, between them: <?php $foo='<html><head><title>some title</title></head><body><table><tr><td>some text '; $bar=' some more text</tr></td></table></body></html>'; echo $foo; include("test.php"); echo $bar; ?> Maybe one of the pros around here can think of a better way to do this, though.
