Convert my old PHP pages to vBulletin pages [Archive]

I have a php website that uses a lot of MYSQL queries and data manipulation and display. I have no problem coding php in standard php pages, but I can not figure out how to wrap my php pages in the vBulletin style template (user menu, login info, ect ..). I have the 'create custom template' hack working (very basic) .. but I cant figure out the php side of things. I would preffer just coding the pages in a .php file instead of a template with plug-ins.

Please help. Thanks!

Thats the 'hack' I was talking about already having setup. But I cant get php code into it.

I figured it out :)

<?php

// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'test'); // change this depending on your filename

// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array(

);

// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array(

);

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array(
'TEST',
);

// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array(

);

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');

// ################################################## #####################
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
// ################################################## #####################

$navbits = array();
$navbits[$parent] = 'Test Page';

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');

echo $stylevar[htmldoctype]; ?>
<html dir="<?php echo $stylevar[textdirection];?>" lang="<?php echo $stylevar[languagecode];?>">
<head>
<title><?php echo $vboptions[bbtitle];?></title>
<?php echo $headinclude;?>
</head>
<body>
<?php echo $header;

echo $navbar;

echo 'I AM THE MAN!!!!!!';

echo $footer; ?>
</body>
</html>

One more question tho. How would I get '<if condition="$show['member']">' to read properly from the php page? Should I convert it to a php IF statement .. if ($show['member'] != false) ....
