Passing variables to the same include that appears multiple times - php

Question

I'm trying to pass variables in an include that appears on a page multiple times. While the following sample may technically work, I'm sure there is a much better way of doing this. Any help would be appreciated.
index.php
<?php
$user_avatar = "user-1-avatar.jpg";
$user_username = "username-1";
$user_name = "User 1";
include '/_user-card.php';
?>
<?php
$user_avatar = "user-2-avatar.jpg";
$user_username = "username-2";
$user_name = "User 2";
include '/_user-card.php';
?>
_user-card.php
<div class="user-card">
<img src="<?php echo $user_avatar; ?>" alt="">
<p class="user-card__username"><?php echo $user_username; ?></p>
<p class="user-card__name"><?php echo $user_name; ?></p>
</div>

You can create data that you can use over and over again by using the following function.
function get_user_card($params = array()){
$output = '';
extract($params);
if( isset($user_avatar) && isset($user_username) && isset($user_name) ) {
ob_start();
?>
<div class="user-card">
<img src="<?php echo $user_avatar; ?>" alt="">
<p class="user-card__username"><?php echo $user_username; ?></p>
<p class="user-card__name"><?php echo $user_name; ?></p>
</div>
<?php
$output = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
}
return $output;
}
$user_1 = get_user_card(
array(
"user_avatar" => "user-1-avatar.jpg",
"user_username" => "username-1",
"user_name" => "User 1"
)
);
echo $user_1;
