<?php

if ( !defined('BLOCK_FILE') ) {
Header('Location: ../index.php');
die();
}
$totalleads= 1;

mt_srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$number = mt_rand(1,($totalleads-0));

$lead = include('blocks/leads/' . $number . '.html');

$content = " $lead content here <br/>";
$content .= " include('blocks/leads/' . $number . '.html'); ";

I want $lead to equal the content of the file 1.html.
In this case its an html img and link.

Try
$lead = file_get_contents('blocks/leads/' . $number . '.html');
$content .= $lead

I had used this:
ob_start();
include('blocks/leads/' . $number . '.html');
$leadin = ob_get_clean();

But yours works as well and I have a feeling yours is more efficient as the first way is creating a buffer and yours is not Wink

Thanks my good man! Smile
