The = operator assigns content. the .= operator appends content. In other words, the $my_template variable already exists and is displaying - so you just add to it. This requires that you use an existing variable that is already in use somewhere.


If you don't want to do it that way, you can try doing this instead:

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template($template_name) . '");');

However, doing it that way will most likely not print the way you expect it to.
