I've made a whole new .php file that looks about the same a the $header but instead of $forumbits I have my own phpcode. I saved it and placed it in my root....

$stylevar[htmldoctype] $headinclude $header $navbar
65">$vbphrase[mycode_title]
65"> $vbphrase[mycode_body]
$footer


What do I need to program to make it happen ?
Is it something with phpinclude_start ?

*confused*

$header is a variable containing a parsed template (header), what you posted looks like part of an uncompiled template, you say you've created a new .php file (what's in it?) and you mention phpinclude_start.

So ... what do you actually want to achieve?

sorry for the confusion...

My Idea of phpinclude_start was that you are only to be able to make a code that you could put in your $header or $footer. What I finally want is that I want to have a .php file that doesn't contain the forums but just my own made code that I've put in phpinclude_start...

does this make it more clear ?
and most of all how is this done ?

ps. KirbyDE thanks for your respond anyways...

No ;)
phpinclude_start will be executed on every page.
So if you want your code to be only executed on one page it' suggest to create a new php-file

You can use this as a start:

<?php
// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'myscript');

// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array();

// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array();

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array('mytemplate');

// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array();

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');

// ################################################## #####################
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
// ################################################## #####################

// ** place your code here ***

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('mytemplate') . '");');
?>

myscript is just an identifier (used for SQL error reports for example).
mytemplate is the Template that the script should output.

If you don't have/need a template: leave the array blank and remove the print_output line (but this will most likely be a pretty boring page then as it does not output anything ;))

Hmm, I don't see any PHP-Code at all - only a template :)
Save this as a template (mytemplate for example) and use the PHP-File I posted above.

ey!

ok so this called a template then..hehe

So I did what you said...I saved the template as "mytemplate.php" and I saved your earlier code as "facil.php" and uploaded that to my root so I would typ in my browser :

myhostdomain.com/facil.php

and than I get a blanco page that has as a sourcecode:

<html><body></body></html>

?? did I forgot something ?

thanks for sticking with me on this one!!

No, you should save the template as a template - not as a file.

Got ro youre Admin Control Panel, Select Styles & Templates, Style Manager.
Then on the right, from the dropdown select Add New Template, sace it under the name you have in facil.php
