PHP Functions in Templates

[JimF]

How would I use functions, such as include() in my vB templates? This is for calling a navbar on my site.

Any help would be great!

Is the problem solved? I need this for my forum, too! Is it a server config prob or why does the php code not be worked out?

[JimF]

It doesn't work because the templates don't get parsed as PHP - they get parsed as HTML. So the functions don't work. I've since added the functions that I needed to the global.php file - and I can call them at will inside my templates.

Can you give me a hint how to add php code to the global.php to call it from there over $xxxx? I looked over the global.php but didn't get it what to do?
