Hi Iam having a problem that when i include stuff in my phpinclude template the variable is not availabe to any templates. Here is an example:

Here is my phpinclude file :

// This code is PHP4 only:
// ob_start();
// require("yourheader.html");
// $header = ob_get_contents();
// ob_end_clean();

$authed_user = $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'];

mysql_connect("localhost", "####", "#######");
mysql_select_db("######");

if (!$authed_user) {
exit;
}

$query = "SELECT board_username,board_password from subs where u_name = '$authed_user'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$make = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$b_username = $make[0];
$b_password = $make[1];

if (!$b_password || !$b_username) {
$b_username = "NoUser";
$b_password = "password";
}

#echo "u:$b_username p:$b_password";
#exit;

When I uncomment the last 2 lines it echos the correct username and password and exits. When I comment the ehco comman and exit out (so it runs through the entire page), the variables arent being replaced on my template. Here is a copy of my username_loggedout template :

<tr valign="top">
<td><input type="hidden" name="username" value="$b_username" size="25">
<input type="hidden" name="password" value="$b_password" size="25"></td>
</tr>

When I view the source of the page the values are showing as "". It seems like it would work but iam obviously doing something wrong. Thansk for the help.
