Function return a 'template call'

[cinq]

I am trying to use a function to return a template call into the main code.

Something along these lines but it does not seem to work ( doesnt seem to return anything )

This is the function

function showarticle()
{
global $globaltemplates,$DB_site;

$query= $DB_site->query("
SELECT *
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "article
ORDER BY date
");

while($art = $DB_site->fetch_array($query))
{
eval('$artbit .= "' . fetch_template('artbit') . '";');
}

return $artbit;
}



In the main code :

i have

showarticle();

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('main') . '");');


where in template main, $artbit is used.

But this does not display anything.

Seems simple enough but I am puzzled why it does not work ?

In the main code change to:
$artbit = showarticle();

PS Best would be to initialize the $artbit also inside the function before adding to it.

Doh silly me.

Thanks again Marco :D
