How to include a file which is a variable?

I want to include a file which is a variable, because in my database, file is a field.

I want to ouput this file by using the following statement:

include ("$file");

include ("<?php echo $file?>");

Both ways did not work.

I think this should be a simple problem, but I do not know how to solve it. Thanks in advance for you help.

Hi, you can try with

include ($file); // <- without ""

If not works, please you post the error message that give up.
If not error, you can try require($file);

see you
