variable being set to include

[darkfunkel]

I am making a system where it uses a series of ifs to set one variable so I tryed:

if (!isset($variable)) {
$var = include("page2.php");
}

$var

what is wrong with this? tia

the proper way:

if (!isset($variable))
{
  $var = "page2.php";
}

include ($var);

I have been messing with the code and I get it including above the layout when I set it to include in the center of the layout

$page="newsdisplay.php";

$template_f = "layout.tpl";
$title = "BetaGamers.net";

$template_r = join(' ', file($template_f));

$charray   = array(
       "##title##" => $title,
       "##content##"  => include "$page"
);

$outvar.=strtr($template_r, $charray);
echo $outvar;

any ideas what is wrong?
