include problem

[hidjra]

hi,

i have a problem with php include. this is how i want it to work

PHP Code:

<?php
$poll = include ("poll_inc.php");
$header = "blablablablablabla";

// ############ start index ############
if ($action=="1") {
eval("?".">".$header);
print ("<table border="1" width="100%">
  <tr>
    <td width="50%">$poll</td>
    <td width="50%"></td>
  </tr>
</table>");
}
?>

but it just puts the output of poll_inc.php on top of everything instead of where i've put $poll. what did i do wrong?
