Don't execute it, it's expensive. Simply read the file in a string and
replace all occurences that you need:
$s = str_replace(
array('$firstname', '$lastname', '$sitename', '$message'),
array($firstname, $lastname, $sitename, $message),
$s);

actually, as far as I see, that should be equally expensive as
eval()'ing it :)

eval has to look for more tokens and is less secure.

hmm... true... forgot about the tokens ;)
as for the security. As long as its local and your in control of the
message, it'll be safe enough.

Re: [PHP] executeing another files code
Hi again,
One last question as am a bit confused, using this method:
$s = str_replace(
array('$firstname', '$lastname', '$sitename', '$message'),
array($firstname, $lastname, $sitename, $message),$s);
do I *have to* pass 4 arguements?
Because I dont really know how many will be passed...the site owner may
decide he wants to use just 3 out of 4...
eg:
he may want to use just $name, $lastname and $submit_date
instead of $name, $lastname, $submit_date and message
Thanks,
Ryan

you can set default values (eg an empty string) to cover that scenario.
I can aslo offer you a third alternative to the very good suggestions
already offereed by Marek and Sokolewicz; printf();
