[RESOLVED] Don't want to use eval()

I am quite stuck here.

I am starting to build my own simple CMS with templating. I would like to do it very much the way drupal does it in the way that on the actual template file I can just have some variables available like $url, $title etc. The issue I have is with the variable $content which would get the content of the page.

Now I can get which file to go get for example if I go to "http:://cms.dem/user/create" (not an actual url) I know I am working with the "user" module and I need the "create.php" file. But this file might (most likely will) have html in it and then eval() does not know what to do with it ...

How will I be able to get the contents of a file with the variables already parsed* into a variable without the use of eval(). Is it even possible?

*for lack of a better word

I think I figured it out ... there we go ... all I needed to do is use an output buffer, the code then looks something as follows.

I'm not sure I understand why you're using include() and storing it in a buffer instead of using something like file_get_contents(). Does using include() replace the variables found in $action_file with the contents of variables already registered in the script ?

Yeah it does ... let's say I have the following:

somefile.php


index.php


template.php


I would see the word "bar" printed on the screen.

Ah ok. I didn't realize you were using <?php?> tokens in $action_file. I thought you had something like this.
