ob_start <> eval?

I have a template system that takes some data, scrubs it and then with a
load method includes the required template. I need to add a param so it
doesn't simply include but returns the contents of the template in a string
with all of the vars populated. I tried:

ob_start();
include my template
$template=ob_get_contents();
ob_clean();
return $template;

But this returns the template it's it's raw for with all of tha
<?=$whatever?> tags. Can I fill these in and still pass as another var
without using eval()?

What do other template systems to do return a template as a string on load?


Thanks!

If I understand what you're doing correctly, then it should work and I've done
it many times. First thing you should do, though, is switch from short tags
to proper tags, <?php echo $whatever; ?>. If you have short tags disabled,
it will not parse <?= syntax.

We have short tags enabled as our templates work fine with them.

Thanks!

Check your configuration to see the value of: allow_url_fopen
