[snip] Only on demand. I'd like to define the variable without showing the file
$var=include(); do something else echo $var; [/snip] Since the included file outputs headers you cannot do what it is you wish to do AFAIK. When I do includes, and having looked at other's code I can say that I am in good company, where HTML is involved and I need to use it again I just call another include() function. I do this for navigation items, footers, headers, and other odd items.
