Include PHP file in template

[Simon Harvey]

I'm sorry if this is answered somewhere already, I'm sure it is, I just can't find it!

What is the correct way to include a PHP file within a template file?

I have tried this:

{{include('../include/myfile.php');}}

This includes the correct file but the rest of the page is not displayed, instead there are lots of funny characters (see screenshot).

Is anyone able to offer any suggestions?

Thanks a lot.
