Need site stats in the header!

[NexDog]

Making a beautiful sidebar that is causing all sorts of headaches. Due to the way the site is being structured, this sidebar needs to be in the header. But no stats like $totalthreads, $newpm[messages] will show up!

Is there a way around this?

those stats have to be parsed before the header is parsed in global.php

so wherever your code is, it's wrong if it's not before the header parsing line :)

So how do I get around that? Can I change the place where the header is parsed in global.php or something?*

as i said just put th stats code before the header parsing.

I understand the concept but I can't figure out how that's possible if the variables are actually in the header.....

Throw me some breadcrumbs here....please. :)

[NexDog]

Just a few crumbs...:D

[Xenon]

put needed code over eval("\$header = .....");

no more crumbs are possible

ahhh, gotcha...:)
