<?php function get_include($path, $cat_id = null){ ob_start(); // start buffer include $path; $content = ob_get_contents(); // assign buffer contents to variable ob_end_clean(); // end buffer and remove buffer contents return $content; } $render = array(); $render[] = "testing1"; $render[] = "testing2"; $category['fid'] = '134'; echo "<pre>"; $render[] = get_include('add_forum.php', $category['fid']); $render[] = get_include('add_forum.php', $category['fid']); print_r($render); ?>
and the forum_add.php looks like this:<?php echo "here is your id: $cat_id"; ?>
The result looks like:Array ( [0] => testing1 [1] => testing2 [2] => here is your id: 134 [3] => here is your id: 134 )
Isn't this a nice way of both saving an include to a file and passing a variable to the include in a function.
I am always exploring interesting tidbit in technology. I will keep a blog of my path to discovering new technology.
