So I've attempted to incorporate an INCLUDE statement to make this happen. What is happening is that the include statement not only grabs the file referenced, but it also grabs the rest of the php file which contains the original INCLUDE - and displays the entire lot on my confirmation web page, which entirely fails my goal and is ugly as well. I'm under immense pressure to get this working by EOB tomorrow.
Some snippets of the relevant code:
[FIRST BIT: the main .PHP file] -- executed via a form's SUBMIT action, this invokes 3 INCLUDE stmts . . .

Thank you. Your information was submitted successfully. You will receive a confirmation email shortly.
++++ The only line which should appear in my browser is the last echo stmtm ("Thank you. Your information...") Not only that, but I do in fact receive an email, which I am sure not-coincidentally contains only this:
Greetings,
This email is confirmation that your Tax Assignment form submission was sent successfully with the following information:
==============================================
Partner: James Murray-TEST-TEST
Your Email Address: x@x.com
I am sorry for so much detail, but after 6 hrs I can't see straight through what seems to me to be a trivial concept gone bad. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you - James

The include_once() statement includes and evaluates the specified file during the execution of the script. This is a behavior similar to the include() statement, with the only difference being that if the code from a file has already been included, it will not be included again. As the name suggests, it will be included just once.
