"including" php code

[sing1ejack]

I'm putting together a page that has a pretty long form. It would be nice to keep the code for the form in a seperate file and sort of "include" the form code into the php page that displays it - just to keep things clean and easier to edit later. Is this kind of seperation possible?

[man]include/man
[man]require/man

is it possiblel to use the include to pull in a html doc so i can then use the following code - i'm having problems with it?

$message = include('emails/usa_daily_2007-11-29.htm');
$headers = "From: $from\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
$success = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

what i would like to do is send the html code (email template) from an external url i.e. emails/usa_daily_2007-11-29.htm.

can anyone help?

Thank you

Gareth

You can include any file you want. If it contains PHP code, it will be parsed first.

However, for what you want, you'd want to use [man]file_get_contents/man to read the contents of a file into a string.
