Output of variables from inside templates .. how? (not vBulletin related)
 

I devised a script to use custom templates for a project I am working on (file driven, not database driven) without using vBulletin. (as vBulletin's user system is a bit too complex for me to do what I had in mind)
I stumbled across a problem for which I cannot seem to find a solution.

When I grab the template from the file, it works fine. It stores the template and everything, brilliant. However, when I try to print the index template (with the variables in the HTML) it only prints $varname, not the actual data stored inside.

Does anyone have a solution as to get around this problem?

Code attached.

(please bear in mind the script is in a very early code stage, its not meant for use yet)

--I had to rename page.css to page.css.txt to upload it. Disregard the <link> being to the wrong file.

And the result...

i haven't looked through your code, but, have you used eval? Or, ever wonder why the vbulletin developers are evaluating the templates?

Then you should look at the code in index.php and the functions in functions.php

edit- Yes I have used eval() but I'm not sure if I should have used it another way. I think this may be a problem with the do_output() function.
