Problem with including php content file in header template

[jafik2005]

Hello,

I tried to include content of php file in my header template using the procedur here http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/templates_externalfiles , So i created a php file "test.php" in the root of my website folder which content is :

<?php echo 'hello' ?>

then i created a plugin for the global_start :

ob_start();
include('test.php');
$includedphp = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

I tried then to insert {vb:raw includedphp} in my header template but nothing appears in my header.

What is for you the problem ?

Thank you in advance for your answer

PS : I tried to change the structur of the path ("/test.php ", "../test.php", Absolute path...) but in vaine
Ps : The use of plugins is activated from the Vbulletin Option

You cannot just use any old variable in any template. You need to register them for use (or in this case, preregister it for use).

Thank you for your reply,

I readed the post and i did what is asked to do, i created a test.php

<?php


$my_var="hello";

$templater = vB_Template::create('mytemplate');
$templater->register('my_var', $my_var);

$templatevalues['my_insertvar'] = $templater->render();
vB_Template::preRegister('header', $templatevalues);


?>

I created the plugin for global_start

ob_start();
include('testtest.php');
$includedphp = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

i inserted this code in my header template

{vb:raw my_insertvar}

But nothing happens, any solutions?

And what is the contents of your template "mytemplate"? And my_insertvar is not registered, $templatevalues is. So, it's {vb:raw templatevalues.my_insertvar}
