You cannot add php to templates. You add the php to plugins and then put the output into the templates via a variable.

Which template?

You'd put something like this into a plugin (hook depends on template) :

ob_start();
include('path/to/show_rares.php');
$rares = ob_get_clean();And stick $rares in your template.

global_start works for a lot of the templates if they use global scope and aren't evaluated before this hook.

If it's a new page, then you don't need to put code in a plugin. You put the php code into your page that you just created. It's php which goes into the php page.

The article gives you the skeleton of what you need. You now enter your code under the are that says "START MAIN SCRIPT". And then the output from that should be a $variable and you put that $variable into your template.

If you look at a basic vbulletin page, you will see them do this.
