Storing the HTML output from a local PHP file into a string using file_get_contents
- by bobo
There is a header.php file and it contains some php codes that return HTML.
I know I can use require, include to echo the results, but what I want to do is to store its processed output string into a variable.
In a page, I used:
$headerHTML=file_get_contents('header.php');
Then I got the PHP code output rather than the processed HTML output.
I know adding http:// would help.
But I prefer to keep using relative path, how can I tell the function to treat the php file correctly?
