Executing but not showing

Anon

 Is there a way of executing a function that has html in it but not display anything and instead save all the output as a string?

function getheaderstr($txt) {
return "<h2>$txt</h2>\n";
}

 Let me try to explai it better

function toHTML() {
?>

<HEAD>
<TITLE>This is the title</TITLE>

<?php
include( "file.inc" );
include( "javascript.js" )
?>
</HEAD>
....goes on to the webpage

Well I want to make this into a string so I can say

$html = "\n
<HEAD>
stuff goes here....but i need to include the files and the files need to use my class to get the variables so I can't read them I have to execute them and get back the info.

<?php

// Turn on output buffering
ob_start();

// Execute your subroutine
toHTML();

// Retrieve contents of buffer
$html = ob_get_contents();

// Clear the buffer so it doesn't get sent to the browser
ob_end_clean();
