PHP - Parsing PHP in includes

[Dusen]

I'm trying to include() a file that has a .txt extension. What I'd like to do is parse some PHP on that text file as well.

It's not working

What I have done is set .txt as php parsable in htaccess. No go. Any ideas?

Why not just make the .txt a .php extension and include it?

Otherwise maybe you can try something like the eval function

http://us2.php.net/eval and see if that works.

-- below may or may not work for you --
$text = join('', file('/path/to/text/file'));

echo eval($text);

have it as .php and dont forget about opening and closing php tags <? ... ?> inside the include file.
