execute the file first, and include it later?

[searain]

Say file2 wants to include file1, but instead of inlcude file1 and then execute the combination codes, how can i execute file1 first and include it later?

Thanks!

I'monly guessing what you might be meaning.

Soundes like you want to use eval() maybe.

$string=implode('',file('file1.php'));
eval($string);

In this case, DON'T add the <? and ?> at the lead and bottom of file1.php.
