I have some code that loads up some php/html files and does a few things
to
them and ultimately returns an html file with some php code in it. I then
pass that file onto the user by using echo. Of course then the file
doesn't
get seen by the user.
If you have an html file, that is, a file containing html markup with "html"
or "htm" extension it is _not_ parsed by the php engine,, normaly.
Is there any command that essentially executes the code and then echo's
it?

Yes, it's called "print" and it can do more complex things than echo will,
it's simlar, but not actualy the same.
It's described
here->
http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/...l/aid/1/fid/40
something that will take a string like
'<body>blah<?ph p echo 'Hello'; ?></body>' and actually interpret the php
code?
Yes, there is.
-------------------------------------
!DOCTYPE blah blah blah
<html>
<head><title> </title></head>
<p>stuff in this file that contains html markup with a ".php" extension</p>
<p>Other stuff</p>
<?php
echo '<p>Parse this and include it into the html stuff above and
below</p>';
?>
<p>Other stuff in this file that has a ".php" extension and will be output
as html by the php engine.</p>
<?php
echo '<p>Parsed and included as html in the output with the other markup
around it</p>';
?>
<p>More html markup</p>
<?php
include(myFileI DidStuffTooAMom entAgo.inc);
?>
</body>
</html>
------------------------------------fileName.php
>
e.g., doing
echo '<body>blah<?ph p echo 'Hello'; ?></body>';
does me no good caues the php code isn't interpreted.
But would if you wrote it as below and saved the file with a php extension..
<body>blah
<?php
echo 'Hello';
?>
</body>

Saving it to a file and then redirecting the user to that file so it will
be
executed seems like a roundabout way and causes more problems.
I would have to agree.

essentially I am trying to include php/html files in one another but I
need
to do some parsing on them first. I'd rather not do something like
Parsing is a very generic term and may include opperations that have nothing
to do with html output, or php for that matter.
It can only be assumed that you mean "interprete d by the php engine" but you
seem to indicate something else by the context here.

file_get_conten ts($Page)
parse($Page)
save($Page)
include "$Page"
The above could be written into a file with a .php extension as;
---------------------
<?php
$Page = file_get_conten ts('somepath/Page.txt')
function parse(&$Page)
{
//Losts of parsing code here
}
parse($Page);
file_put_conten ts($Page);
?>
----------------------

as it seems uncessary to have to write the page to disk just to include
it.

I would have to agree. So you might write the above as follows;
---------------------
<?php
$Page = file_get_conten ts('somepath/Page.txt')
function parse(&$Page)
{
//Losts of parsing code
}
parse($Page);
echo $Page;
[Or
print parse($Page);
Or
echo parse($Page);
]
?>
----------------------
I'm not sure that the above is usefull. There seems to be some confusion
about what exactly you are wanting to do.
It may be an inaquacey on my part, or it may be ambiguity on your part ;)
