Include HTML file as variable

[WBSKI]

Can I include a file as a variable without it showing on the page?

What I want to do:

Include an HTML file and adjust the links to make it work from a different folder.

[PHP]$begin = "path to site root (hidden for security)";
$end = "_bolGallerySta ticPage.html";
$raw = include($begin. $row_Recordset1['url'].$end);
$search = "./";
$replace = $row_Recordset1['url'];
$test = str_replace ($search, $replace, $raw);
echo $test[/PHP]

Currently I cant set the $raw variable and only the original code shows.

Thanks from Russell!

Its site relative:

/data/1/photos/other/

It is the other folder where the page is included from.

As i think you can't assign include() and its parameter to a variable, because its a Control Structure.

You may better try another way of making your script.

I think i went here and there since i couldn't understand your requiremet properly.
Do you expecting to put someotherfile(o ther.html) contents to this script (this.php) without showing other.html contents inside this.php is that correct?
Then you need to use str_replace for the coding that you get from other.html.

Sorry for this post, you can assign file contents to a variable.
[PHP]$_file = include('subdir/data/_bolGalleryStat icPage.html');[/PHP]

[ronnil]

doesn't include() force the browser to output immediately?

normally for that type of function i use ob_get_contents ();

[CODE=php]<?php
$file = 'path/to/file.php'
ob_start();
include($file);
$file_contents = ob_get_contents ();
ob_end_clean();
?>[/CODE]

now you have everything outputted and stored in $file_contents. Now you can peform replaces and such before echoing it.
