Read Variables from a text file.

[Talon]

this is a simple question, but it has such a major importance on how my script will turn out.

I am trying to make a hub, in which website names are stored in text files (1 - unlimited numbers).

I am trying to see if there is a way that PHP can read the variables stored in a text file. For example.

in a text file I have the varable

$site = "http://google.com";

and in my php script it would open up the text file and then read the variable $x from there it would echo

Site is http://google.com

is all of this just wishful thinking, or is there such a way to make this really exist.

Any reason you can't put <?php ... ?> tags around the text file content and then just include() it? If not, then when you read in a line from the file you could execute it via the eval() function.

thanks for the idea mate, I hadn't really learned of the eval statement yet, I will look into it.
