includes in fwrite

[Anon]

I'm have templates created and I want to use them when I'm writing to a static file.

$static = "Hello World"; works...

However this does not.

$static = include("../static_templates/bandpage_template_music_master.inc");

$newshtm = fopen("$file1", "w") or
		die("Couldn't create file.");
fwrite($newshtm, $static)
	or die("Couldn't write to file.");
fclose($newshtm);
