Hi,

I have having a problem understanding how to display values of variables in PHP from using templates.

Below is the code for the template function and the template i am trying to call (with variables included). Templates are saved as HTML files iwth variables in them.

As you can see below, i've tried including the normal call to a session $_SESSION... and in a PHP statement {$_SESSION...

What is displayed on the page is exactly as below.

I have also tried to record these onto normal variables too, ie:

$userName = $_SESSION['userName'];

Thanks.

function gettemplate($template,$endung="html") {
    $templatefolder = "templates/default/";
    return str_replace("\"","\\\"",implode("",file($templatefolder."/".$template.".".$endung)));
}

echo gettemplate("headerInfo");

<p class='smallRight'>Welcome back, $_SESSION['userName'].You last logged in on {$_SESSION['lastLogin']}</p>
<p class='smallRight'><a href='index.php?act=logout' title='Logout'>Logout</a></p>

So are you trying to parse PHP from a loaded .txt document? If so, I'm not sure that would work, as it's not generally a good way to do it. You might want to take a look at PHP's eval() function, although it's dangerous if you're handling user input with it. Make sure to thoroughly sanitize your input, even if it's yours, before passing it through eval().

They're not text documents, they're HTML documents.

For example, I have a HTML document tha details the section on a page where it displays the users login details ie. Welcome back X, you last logged in on xx.xx.xxx

If I want to use this information on every page then it means copying and pasting the code into every page.. Then if I want to change it for any reason ie. Welcome back X. You're last login was on xx.xx.xxxx

By using a template all i need to do is call the template and edit the template if i want.

Does that make sense?

Thank

Why are you not using standard include()??

And, of course, a php file, that allows you to have variables
(
you can also execute html files, by adding into .htaccess the
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm
)

I am using the include function to include my functions file.

All i want to be able to do is in a certain area on a page that i'm building, be able to insert a snippet (one line) of code and be able to display what i need ie. that of a login form box, login details, content area etc...
