file_get_contents not executing

I have made a template engine, which uses file_get_contents() to get the contents of a page then replace any keys it finds with the values.

That is not an issue, but what is an issue is that it makes a new output for the page, so it is something like this 

$output = str_replace($key, $replace, $output); return $output;

The only problem is, in the new output, PHP code is shown in the source code and not ran. Is there any way to fix this?

you can use PHP eval function to run a string as php code 

$output = str_replace($key, $replace, $output); return $output;
eval($output);

Once you get your code using file_get_contents()

$code = file_get_contents("page.php");

you do the work you need to do on the variable $code which is a string then you do this

eval($code);

if the code starts with html code and it has some php code inside , try this

eval(" ?> " . $code . " <?php ");

I have to tell you that this is not a good solution, eval is the most risky function to use on php.
