You mean, you have an include file that produces some output which has to be included into a page that normally only uses a template for its output? If I understood this correctly, here´s how you can do this: - Put a placeholder in your template where the output of the included file should appear. - In the script that includes the file, write this: // Start output buffering ob_start(); // Include file, all output automatically goes into the buffer include("myIncludeFile.php"); // Write the output buffer into a variable $fileOutput = ob_get_content(); // Destroy the output buffer without sending the output to the browser ob_end_clean(); // Attach the output to a placeholder in your template $tpl->setVariable("theFileContentGoesHere", $fileOutput); I didn´t test this, so there might be syntax errors, but this is the principle how it´s done.
