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.
