Executing PHP File and Putting Results In a String

Question

I have the following to read a file and assign to a string:

$insert_html = file_get_contents('view.php');

The view.php file itself looks like:

<div>This is price of your item: <?php echo $price; ?></div>

However, the PHP inside the file is not being executed. Both eval() and include don't quite give me what I want. What is the best way to do this?

(quoted:) "*Both eval() and include don't quite give me what I want*" For what else are you looking then? — Rizier123, May 20 '15 at 14:37

That's exactly what I want @littleibex. But the second answer works for me! — Guillermo Phillips, May 20 '15 at 14:50
@GuillermoPhillips Yes, I was also thinking that second answer is more appropriate. — littleibex, May 20 '15 at 14:51

You can use that $insert_html = exec('view.php'); but I don't think it's the best way.
