include() in include()

[hatman]

Hi guys and gals! Please help me out with this.
Can I use include() inside a page that has been fread()
I've tried it and it doesn't seem work.
If no, thes is there a workaround?

Here's the code I'm trying to use:

<?php
$fd= fread(fopen("page.htm", "r"), 100000);

if ($fd)
        {
	$start= strpos($fd, "startstring");
	$finish= strpos($fd, "endstring");
	$length= $finish-$start;
	$code=Substr($fd, $start, $length);
	}

echo $code;

?>

and here is the code for the page.htm

<?php
include ('text.htm'); 
?>

Thanks Yall.

When you fread php file, it isn't parsed, it's just read, isn't that obvious? So include() can't be executed.

But in the title of your post you put "include() in include()". That's another story: you can do it, though there may appear some difficulties.
