This is what I'm trying to do, and I think I'm just missing some logic in
how to think like PHP.
I have a global included file ("global.inc") where I set up variables, open
the database, etc, and I include it in the header of every HTML file on the
site.
One thing I would like to set as a variable is the result of php code in
another file ("banner.inc") -- this result is pulled up several times per
page, and it seems that it would be more efficient to have it processed
once, and then just plug that result into a variable which I can call every
time I need that result data.
The problem is that it spits out the result as soon as the variable is set!
So at the top of every page, it just prints out all the data results
immediately rather than waiting for me to echo or print the variable.
I have this at the top of the page:
<?php
$banner = include ("banner.inc");
?>
(which immediately spits out the result of the include!)
But I want to print the results several times a page with this:
<?=$banner?>
I feel certain I'm missing something obvious, but haven't been able to
clarify it in my head despite google searching and browsing through a couple
of books.
thanks for any help!
