Include within a Variable?

[Nickeh32]

I'm trying to set a variable that's another file, i'm trying to include it but it just put's the include at the top of the page not were the variable is.

$v = include('page.php');

This is what i did, what am i doing wrong can anyone help?

Also bearing in mind the variable is in the template!

The include() function does not return a value, it would be best if you made page.php build up a variable, and then require() the file, after doing that you can then call the variable it has made

Quick Example:
FILE: page.php

PHP Code:

<?php
$myvar = "Hello World!";
?>

FILE index.php

PHP Code:

<?php
require_once("page.php");
echo $myvar;
?>

Hope that helps

Well as i said the the variable is in the template and i can't seem to enter PHP into it so i need to set the variable value as the other page!

I'm no good with PHP so i hope you can unserstand that.

and page.php is not relational to the forum it can't really be edited!

Your example is this:

PHP Code:

$v = include('page.php'); 


To achieve this affect, use this:

PHP Code:

ob_start();
include('page.php');
$v = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
