Using php include with in a echo

Question

I need to echo an php include. I have tried the below but neither work?

echo "<td>include'file.php'</td>";
echo "<td><?php include/file.php'?></td>";

Why doesn't this work and how can this be achieved?

Answer 1

You cannot start a new php block inside a php block.

You would probably do something like this:

echo "<td>";
include 'file.php';
echo "</td>";
