Included files don't parse their PHP

[naitsirhc26]

Okay - so I'm using the following code to rotate a certain PHP file on my home page.

---------------------------
<?php
$content = array("http://file3.php", "http://file2.php", "http://file1.php");
shuffle($content);
echo file_get_contents($content[0]);
?>
---------------------------

Why is it that the PHP scripting on the included files DOES NOT get parsed? When I view the main page of my site - the source code - I see the PHP that SHOULD HAVE been parsed - but is just plain, raw php. I need a bit of help with this. Am I calling the .php files incorrectly - thus allowing them not to be parsed before being included? Thanks!

Figured out the problem. Thanks!

Glad you resolved your issue. I'm sure you found that you should be using the full URL, ie. http://www.example.com/script.php for the include.
