so would the script look like this then ?
in the php script:
<?php
// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'serial');
// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');
require"config_serial.php";
require"functions_serial.php";
// ################################################## ######################
?>
<script src="./sys.js"></script>
<?php
$getindb = getindb();
$gettotalviews = gettotalviews();
$advsbox = advsbox();
$gettitle = gettitle(40);
$getserials = getserials(40,40,40);
$pagelinks = pagelinks();
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('serials') . '");');
?>
and here is the template:
$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">

<title>YourSiteTitle</title>
<script src="./sys.js"></script>
