Process PHP and print to string

I've got a PHP page (content.php), containing plain HTML and content delivered by PHP variables

<html>
     <head>
     </head>
     <body>
          <h1><?php echo $title; ?></h1>
     </body>
</html>

Then there is another PHP page, where I need the contents of content.php in a String, but already processed by the PHP parser. I already tried the file_get_contents() function, but this gives the raw output (PHP not processed). What I'm looking for, is this:

$var contents = somefunction('contents.php') with content:

<html>
     <head>
     </head>
     <body>
          <h1>Title</h1>
     </body>
</html>

Any help much appreciated!

Try:

ob_start();
include ('contents.php');
$html = ob_get_clean();
ob_end_clean();

either i am missing something badly here or else instead of using a function, in your second page why not just directly assign the contents to a string like this:

$my_String = "<html>
     <head>
     </head>
     <body>
          <h1>". $title ."</h1>
     </body>
</html>";

Have you tried include? Alternatively, if you need to get it from "outside" (like if you loaded it in your browser) use file_get_contents with the full http://example.com/filename.php URL.
