using the outcome of an echo in a file

[Anon]

Hello,

Is it possible to read the outcome of a .php file in another php file?

Something like:
$content = echo (file.php);? (I know this will never work but it should give you an idea what i want to do.)

and that $content becomes the html source that file.php would deliver?

I'm pretty new with PHP, as you probably guessed already.

No but you could read in the contents of one file and write it to another. Is that what you are after, or does file.php produce some sort of results and you need to write those to the other file?

Hey,

Yes I need the output of one.php file in another file. Is that possible with PHP?

IF you have access to the CGI version of PHP you could use the EXEC function

you could do something like:

exec("php other_script.php",$result_array);

This will run the command "php other_script.php" and capture all
outpur line by line, into the $result_array.
Then you can write the array line by line to a new file or whatever.

I know you are new and that it is probably the last thing you feel like doing,
but.... read the manual. :-)
