PHP Dynamic Module Loading

[Anon]

Hi,

I need to create a system that can load include files dynamically.

I have made 216 different include files, each have the same purpose and functions, but the functionality is different in each one.

In a sense, it's a bit like the Microsoft COM system, but the code of these modules(include files) must be in PHP.

One of the main problems I have is that the 'include' & 'require' functions can not be called from within a function, because the code "included" will become part of that function.

Does anyone have any suggestions on dynamically loading include files?

Kind Regards,
Harry

You could have the function returning the name of the file to include in a string, and say

include(pickamodule($whatever));

Nice idea, but I need to call this function from whereever inside the program, must probably a function.

this maybe a great limitation to PHP!
