require

[Tom]

hi i want to require or include a file in my php script.

the file i want to include contains some variables and some normal html.

i want to get the values of the variable without displaying the html stuff.

Any idea how i could this ?

thanks in advance

Re: require

Perhaps you could put your variables in a different file, and have both of
your present files require or include it? Other than that, I have no idea...

1. start output buffering
2. include (or require) the file
3. stop buffering and disregard the data
