Re: My template idea...

The PHP code would, eg: globals.php ----------- $global_attrs["page_bgcolor"] = "white"; $global_attrs["page_width"] = "600"; randomfile.php --------------- <?php include "globals.php"; ?> #load template $tmpl = tmpl_define("randomfile.tmpl"); #assign global vars tmpl_assign($tmpl, $global_attrs); # assigns set of key/val pairs in one call. #print template echo tmpl_getbuf($tmpl); randomfile.tmpl ---------------- <body bgcolor="{{page_bgcolor}}"> <table width="{{page_width}}"><tr><td>random stuff</td></tr></table> </body> ...and of course the same variables could be used in other PHP code that doesn't use templates simply by referencing $global_attrs. -dan Andrei Zmievski wrote: > On Tue, 15 Feb 2000, Dan Libby wrote: > > The same thing can be done with PHP includes.
