Easy question - vbphrases dont' work

[Dionysis]

I'm creating a new file and wondering why Vbphrases arn't working while almost all other variables are...

the file is simply:

PHP Code:

        chdir('/blah/vbulletin');
        require_once('./global.php');
        require_once('./includes/adminfunctions_template.php');
        
        chdir('/blah/vbulletin/admincp');
        require_once('./global.php');

        
//back end importing done, start grabbing variables and do the script


        echo $vbphrase['expand_all_template_groups']; 


which returns nothing for the echo.... any ideas?
