How to save php output into a variable?

[Anon]

Hi,

I have a file one.php in which there is a variable $twooutput where I need to store the output of running two.php. How can I do this? include does not work as it outputs directly into the output of one.php. exec and passthru do not work either it seems.

Two possible ways:

one.php:
<?
ob_start();
include 'two.php';
$twooutput = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
?>

Or open the file through http:

one.php:
<?
$fp = fopen('http://example.com/two.php','r');
if ($fp){
$twooutput = fread($fp,50000);
}
?>
