Output buffering will do it.
Also I am not sure but did you try retrieving content with fopen() ?
Something like
$file = 'invoicetable_bottom.php';
fopen("http://yoursite.com/folder/$file","r";);
http://tr.php.net/function.fopen
worth trying. Easier than output buffering

Subject: [PHP] Re: How to take output from an include, and embed it into a
variable?
Hi,
The simplest way (actually the single way I know :) ) would be to
capture the output using output buffering functions, something like this:
// start output buffering
ob_start();
// include the file that generates the HTML (or whatever content)
include "....";
// get output buffer content
$output=ob_get_contents();
// clean output buffer and stop buffering
ob_end_clean();
// the content generated in the included file is now in $output variable
// use it as you consider fit
.........

Puiu
