Hi...

I'm working with some code, and have run into an issue that, after a long search on the forums, I still haven't located a resolution to.

I'm familiar with includes, and have used them quite a bit with the last several webpages I've designed. However, currently I have data from an external source that I can add as an include file (the output is a text string)... but the location I need to add this data is inside a variable string.

As an example :

$display_content = "
	<tr>
		<td>blah blah</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td> [NEED INCLUDE DATA HERE] </td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>blah blah</td>
	</tr>";

The variable the data needs to be included into is itself an include to a main page file where the "$display_content" is parsed as page content.

If this were standard HTML, I could simply do a

<html>
<head>
<title>blah</title>
</head>
<body>

<table>
	<tr>
		<td>blah blah</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td><?php include('http://www.someurl.com/somepage.php?var=$somevar'); ?></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>blah blah</td>
	</tr>
</table>

</html>

but unfortunately that's not the case.

So is there a way to accomplish this? I've tried several things and nothing's worked so far.

    ob_start();
include('http://www.someurl.com/somepage.php?var=' . $somevar);
$content = ob_get_flush();

$display_content = '
<tr><td>blah blah</td></tr>
<tr><td>' . $content . '</td></tr>
<tr><td>blah blah</td></tr>';
