html - PHP include without output? -


alright,

heres thing. have (paid for) shopping cart, in process of jazzing jquery , css , whatever else make , work nicer is.

anyway. in order use database , functions etc, need include file @ beginning of webpage. have put in a

<div style="display:none;"> 

but of course output still written browser. not alot, prefere have no div , no output, still want perform it's calculations. 5000 line php file , complicated go through , edit out bits dont want.

is there clever way, can include file specify if want written page when including it?

i knows it's bit of bodge, hope i've explained myself, if can please let me know.

thanks.

you can use output buffering catch output variable instead of sending browser:

ob_start(); require(...); $data = ob_get_clean(); 

note use of require instead of include. because think script should crash when hitting include error, not continue if nothing wrong.
