file() returns an array, not a string.

$news=implode('', file("news.php"));

i 4got to mention that news.php contains php code that needs to be executed, sorry

its now printing the file contents instead of actually showing the html output of news.php, if ya get me

try something like this:

$string = "hehefhrhnewsiorfji";
$news = implode('', file("http://www.example.com/path/to/news.php"));
$string = str_replace("news", $news, $string);
echo $string; 

If news.php needs any variables from this script, you will need to send it in a querystring in the file() call.
