What is the alternative to this...

Is there a simple way to save the contents of an include file to a variable?

I need to perform an nl2br on an entire php file so it can be used as a javascript variable, ie:

<script language="javascript">

htmltowrite = '<?php nl2br(include('pages/services/business.php')); ?>';

</script>

did u try fopen or file or curl?

If theres no easier way, ill most likely use file().

Id prefer a more direct function for achieving this though.

file_get_contents();

file() returns an array, not a string. 😉
