include() problem?!

[Anon]

i need this to read the last 5 lines of a txt file and include them into another page....it works fine if i use echo....
but the 5 txt file lines contain php code so need to use include()?
works when i include whole file....

help....

thx

$file = "./list.dat";
$f = file($file);
$end = count($f);
$a = $end - 5;
$b = $end - 4;
$c = $end - 3;
$d = $end - 2;
$e = $end - 1;

include($f[$e]);
include($f[$d]);
include($f[$c]);
include($f[$b]);
include($f[$a]);

Not sure, but I think you have to write a file with your five php line and include this file in your page for exec, because according to your way the include is done in the flow out of the PHP engine, and the PHP engine has to see this include as an input.

If data is stored on a variable, you don't include it, you either print() it or echo it.
