But there is such a $vboptions[bburl] thing in the email. How do I make my own $peteroptions[serverurl] thing?

I assume "global phrase" means a normal phrase which is generated via "add new phrase". Please tell me if this is not true, the manual is not very clear on this subject.

And I have never called phrases myself.
What is a phrase call:
This ? [myValue]
or this ? {vb:rawphrase myValue}
or this ? $something[myValue]
(number 2 is my favorite ...)

How do I register a variable for a template, is this in the manual?
And something like {vb:raw $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']} is not supposed to work?

Sorry for being slow. Since MODx and vBulletin I am confused with plugins, snippets, chunks, phrases, products, and so on. All of them include something from somewhere.
