Sounds like you could use buffering.
<?php
ob_start(); // Start output buffering.
// Instead of outputting anything, the output is now stored in a buffer.
include('yourfile.php');
// There, now the file has been included and php parsed.
// It isn't output, it goes into the buffer.
$yourfile = ob_get_clean();
// Now we read everything that has been buffered... And stops buffering.
?>
Result: the file you included has been parsed by the php engine and stored
inside $yourfil, and nothing was output. Sounds like goal achieved.
