And to make use of $File as a template, stick all the parameters above the include line. That is.. $title = 'My template-generated page'; $keywords = 'blah, foof, yay, etc'; $content = // Pulled from SQL, or something.. include($File); // The file will be included with the above parameters. Capture that in the output buffer, save to file, and you're done. Matt
