str_replace and include() together

[PHPstarter]

Hi guys.

Here is my problem:

I have a php file which is associated by a number/ID.

together with BB Code my goal is to have the BB Code transfer the tags with the ID into an include of the file.

I don't think I can use file_get_contents because there is PHP scripts inside the file.

example: [file]2[/file]
= include("file_with_id_2");

But I have not found a way to do this.
Any tips? :)

Do you know how to operate of string?

<?php
$var_id=2;
$var_file_name='file_with_id_'.$var;
if(file_exists($var_file_name)==false)
{
 echo "Missing File";
 exit;
}
include_once($var_file_name);
 
?>

Just concatenate the id onto the base file name (I assume that's what you want).

i.e.

<?php // @file: variable_include.php
for ($i=0; $i < 2; $i++)
{
  include("variable_includes$i.php");
}
?>
 
<?php // @file: variable_include0.php
echo 'Hello this is file: variable_includes0.php<br>';
?>
 
 
<?php // @file: variable_include1.php
echo 'Hello this is file: variable_includes0.php<br>';
?>
 
Output:
Hello this is file: variable_includes0.php
Hello this is file: variable_includes1.php

Thanks for your reply. It might work, but what I was looking for is to replace a part of a larger text, into a file include.

I have a script that handles this 'BB Code' before it's made visible to the user, so it wouldn't work to include it right there.

example:

$content = str_replace("[file]2[/file]", include(file2.php), $content);
