Tag: ouput buffer

  • PHP assign contents of a script to a variable

    Say you would like to include the content of script in your code.  By passing the variable to the script and returning this value, you can create a truly dynamic entry for your code, without any duplication of effort.

    Here’s the breakdown:

    1. Use an output buffer
    2. Start the output buffer
    3. include the file with the passed variable
    4. store the buffered content in a variable
    5. stop the buffer.
