looks like it should work but....
PHP inserts variable values as it creates strings so all the values are
already in the string as soon as it is created.
What you have is just a string. When it is output it's too late to get the
values.
One way I found of getting around that for you
is to use the eval function http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.eval.php
so:
// file 'ftst.php' contents(just one line for testing):
echo "<ul><li><a href=\"$absPath/$p0_file.php\">$p0_label</a></li></ul>";
// script contents to display these using variables defined in the script:
<?php
$absPath = 'localhost';
$p0_file = 'filename';
$p0_label = 'link text';
$t_file = file('ftst.php');
echo eval($t_file[0]);
?>
so you'll need to put echo at the beginning of each line and quote each
line which means you'll also need to escape quotes within the line.
If you read the eval doc on php.net there's several other ways and examples
of similar things.
hth :-)
