Retrieving a PHP file using file_get_content(), cURL() or fopen() all return PHP code itself

I'm retrieving a PHP file using file_get_content(), cURL() or fopen() all return PHP code itself. It's not retrieving just the HTML code itself that PHP is outputting. How can I overcome this please?

It's basically generating an HTML newsletter preview for my customer that is generated from their CMS. However I want them to be able to copy and paste the HTML it generates into Mailchimp or such like. It just fetches the entire PHP source code though as well as the HTML :(

Hope you can help.

Thanks in anticipation.

Pete

This will work in localhost. Try this one: $url = "http://localhost/box.php";

function isAllBoxContents($boxid,$pageNum)
{
$postdata = http_build_query( array('myBoxid' => "$boxid", 'isAllBoxContents' => "all",'pageNum' => "$pageNum",'innerReq' => true ));
$opts = array('http' =>    array( 'method'  => 'POST', 'header'  => 'Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded', 'content' => $postdata ));
$context  = stream_context_create($opts);
$url = "http://localhost/box.php";
$result = file_get_contents( $url, false, $context);
$cacheFileName = "isAllBoxContents".$boxid.$pageNum;
cacheMe($cacheFileName,$result);
}

Trying to read a local PHP file will return its source code, since its a "local" file, and is not parsed by the server.

If you wish to read the result of the PHP file you must request it from the server. Meaning instead of doing:

$data = file_get_contents('x.php');

You should be doing

$data = file_get_contents('http://mysite.com/path/x.php');

Which will be parsed in the server, and then returned to you.

Cheers! :)
