Tks Martin, I guess I am doing something wrong.. I have the main document like that
$var1=11; $vae2=22; $table_html= require_once("includes/table1.php"); table1.php <? <table> <tr> ..<td>$var1</td> </tr> </table> ?> I know my variables are not being parsed..plus the table definition is being placed I only want use those files for portions of html..I know it must be something simple..

For more complicated pages I intend to generate classes..but before I start doing that is there a quick way to include html code that contains variables ? if the main page has already defined those variables, are they going to be automatically replaced? In the above situation does the file to be included needs to contain <? ?> ?
