ah, i understand what you mean now. what i can suggest is that you build a front page in PHP, since that can be coded in such a way as to work like SSI (ala include(), exec(), virtual(), etc.), then you can include the global.php and have the phpinclude parsed even for your front page.

what exactly are you trying to display on your front page? give me an example, and maybe i can help out with an alternative.

I'm not gonna rebuild my entire site design for a hack, no matter how good Converting to php would totally jack about 900 different things I built.

Here's all I want, maybe I am making this too difficult:

Have a link on my front page to the chat room that auto-logs someone in with their vb name and password, or redirects them to the registration page if not.

What I'm thinking is, I should create a seperate page for chat. Maybe even a vb template. Then, all the link on the front page does is take them to that page, where they can then log in, etc, etc.

Anyone have a quick vb template and a way to call it withen a php page?
