Problem when including an html-file

[dekuro]

echo include( "path/filename.html" );

this is the code which I use for including an HTML file into my PHP code. It does print out the file's content but always followed by a '1'.

Why is that? The HTML file is plain html so no php-code or something. There's no '1' near the include command, so it must be produced during inclusion...

any idea?

Because you are echoing the result of an include() so the result of the function which would be 1 for an include() all you need is

include() not echo include()
