Hi everyone,

Working on a basic framework for a new project.

For each page, I have some variables saying which CSS and JS files are loaded, etc.

Then, I have the content included in that same file (e.g., for index.php, include index\_content.php, which has all the text and mysql stuff in it).

My question is, for organization’s sake (I’d rather have one file for each page rather than two) - is there a way to assign all of the code in index\_content.php to one variable for use later?
