PHP include Help

[phybertek]

Hello,

I'm in the process of building a class that will handle html templates. In my template, I have defined tags, for example, {Link1}, {CSS}, {PHP} etc. Anything without an underscore should display the values passed to it. Anything with an "" should read in another PHP script. When my method defines the parameters, it accepts defineParams($var,$value); I want it to check the type, if an underscore is present. If so, it should incude the PHP. I tried using include, but the html that is generated, is always appended to the top of my html code. Say if I wanted to read a php script that just builds a table. How can l parse the template and include the output of php code where I want it in my template?

I have the checking part set, that's not the problem, it reading in php from another script to my calling page.

Is this possible?

If you want to catch the output from an include() use

ob_start();
include( page.php );
$s=ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

Thank you.. I'll give it a try. Right now I'm doing $data = exec("/usr/bin/php myphp_command"); I didn't want to spawn a command-line instance of php.

Thanx..!
