Can I add an include in with page text?

I have done that in the past to allow the user to add an RSVP form in the text.  Here is where I got the solution:

Thanks Ron!! 

I have had a challenging few weeks so I guess this is nothing out of the ordinary but I think I'm doing something wrong. 

The contact-info.php & contact-info2.php pages are dynamically created and although they contain the same info on both pages - they come up fine by themselves ( http://www.irmahotelcody.com/contact-info.php )

I changed "blog" to "menus", change the inserted file names  & added "#insert_contact#" into the 'content' field on the menus page.
The page just comes up blank in the browser so I deleted the #insert_content# and same result so I put them back in. That's telling me it's something in the header. I pasted it below - maybe you can see something that I'm not.  Thanks!!!!

$menusRecord = @$menusRecords[0]; // get first record

//Set content that will contains placeholders to a varaible   
$content = $menusRecord['content'];      

//Cycle through placeholders   
foreach($insertArray as $placeholder => $file){     
//If the content contains the placeholder....     
if($startNum = strrpos($content , $placeholder)){       
//Create and object and include the file to 'run' the code       
ob_start();       
include($file);       

//Add objects content to a placeholder content variable       
$placeholderContent = ob_get_clean();       
//Replace placeholder with replace holder content       
$content = str_replace($placeholder, $placeholderContent, $content);     }   }   

//Display completed content   
echo $content;

<!--INSERT PLACEHOLDER END--> 
?>

oh for pete's sake... I took these out and now I'm getting something - still not right but at least it's showing up which gives me something to work with!
