Hi, I'm involved in a conundrum that is a little difficult to explain
with plain English. Perhaps some PHP code will help you understand
what I am attempting:
#Option 1: code I wish worked
$s = include("phpcode.php");
#Option 2: also code I wish worked
$s = sprintf("%s", include('template.php'));
Basically, I'm wondering if there is a way to redirect print and echo
output from PHP to a variable instead of directly to a browser or
file stream. What I'm trying to do is create code that can generate
an HTML page to a variable that I can manipulate and then later store
in a database.
Obviously, the "real" way to do this is to not use print() statements
at all, but simply build a variable as follows:
$output .= "<html> yadda yadda yadda";
$output .= sprintf("More html and function output %s", function());
until the $output contains the entire file.
The reason I don't want to do this is that it will require rewriting
all my PHP file templates.
Also, I'm simply obsessed with the problem now. I even went as far as
using eval() on the reading of an fopen(template.php) of the PHP
template, but even then I couldn't assign the output to a variable.
Anyone want to kill themselves trying? My head hurts.
Sincerely,
Kristofer
