[Resolved] include() - well sort of...

[PhilDG]

Hi

My problem is this I have a script (phpsysinfo) and I want to include the output of the script on one of my pages.

This is how I understand the include() function to work - the interpreter takes the contents of the file and executes any php as though it came from the file doing the including.

I want to know how to execute the script then include the output into my page because the script relies on other files and I want to keep them all separate from my main website, so for this I think the include() function wouldn't do the trick, there must be a way to do this?

thanks

I don't see why include would be a problem... Of course, you'd be best off writing your own script.

I just wrote a few small scripts to test the include() function and it will work as desired.

I would normally test things like this before asking questions but my server runs windows, and the script I want to use is specifically for linux - next week I'm building my new server which will run linux, I've had enough of windows

thanks for your help anyway
