Use of php within template?

Anyone figure out how to use PHP within a template other than phpinclude?

It's not reccomended, and theres no need for it really :)

There is. I am doing a custom page that needs to pull information from MySQL database and then echo out.

Then do so within the custom page ;) There's no need at all to put anything other than the odd if conditional and html in a template.

I need to have the same header and footer and sessions that I get when doing a custom page using Gary's or Logician's templating system.

Sorry I fail to see how having PHP in the template is going to benefit you here. If you're using vB's template system you can put $header, $footer in your custom template. Also you instantly have access to everything you would on a normal vB page.

Dean,

I am not getting my question across well.

I have a script that is built using php (index.php). It includes a database config file (db.php) makes selection queries from a database, presents selection options to the user and then displays the result of that query. Basically, it is the user interface for an aquarium plant database for our members. I want to have this interface within vB so that members stay logged in, I can see they are there in WOL, use user permissions and just have the same look of the site.

My understanding is that I can't do this within a template. How else can I do this?

PHP Code:


		
			
ob_start();

include('yourheader.html');

$your_code = ob_get_contents();

ob_end_clean();

Then place $your_code in the header or footer template.
