What follows is a feature request.  Searching the existing feature requests have not turned up any similar results.

I have found that it might be convenient to allow include() and/or require() to be able to accept a variable as input.

A couple of scenarios that this might be useful:

* Caching script segments
* Evaluating PHP inside of templates

My workaround has been to dump a variable to disk and then include it as a file, after determining a unique file name to use.  After including the file, it was deleted from disk.  This was for a templating system that could recursively include other templates that may or may not include php.

The reason for the approach was to reuse php as a the template scripting language, as well.  Performance on my test server has been okay, but I am sure that with a large amount of traffic, the file i/o would slow the process down considerably.

I'm not sure what you mean by "accept a variable as input".

a) php -r '$s = "./hmm.php"; include($s);'
    Works for me.

b) <http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.eval.php>

Michael hit the nail on the head with option b.  I am sorry to have wasted everyone's time.  Truly, I searched and searched and have never come accross this function before.  Must be getting old.

Closing the issue, since it is not valid.
