How do I load a PHP file into a variable?

Question

I need to load a PHP file into a variable. Like include();

I have loaded a simple HTML file like this:

$Vdata = file_get_contents("textfile.txt");

But now I need to load a PHP file.

Answer 1

ob_start();
include "yourfile.php";
$myvar = ob_get_clean();

ob_get_clean()
