Getting include() content

include(index.php);

[rokec]

How can i get content of index.php, if i previously included it with include(index.php);?

It's not possible to retroactively capture the string of a file that has already been included.

However, you can get the contents of a file as easily as you can include that file as a separate action.

file_get_contents [php.net] is handy for reading a file into a variable and more information about the include function [php.net] is a worthwhile read as it includes an alternate method (using output buffering) to include a PHP file into a string.

You can get the included file contents using ob_get_contents [us2.php.net] and store it in a var.

Try with this code:

ob_start();

include('index.php');

$content = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

Hope this helps! :)
