Having trouble with print_no_permission();

[Samu3l]

I'm trying to get it to call "print_no_permission()" but I'm not having any luck.
I'm guessing I'm not loading "functions_flacookie.php" properly but I've only just started out on VB and what I'm doing is mostly guesswork.

Can anyone help me out?

In plugin (global_start) :

PHP Code:

ob_start();
  include('includes/functions_flacookie.php');
  $flacookie = ob_get_contents();
  ob_end_clean(); 


In functions_flacookie.php:

PHP Code:

<?php

$user_banned = $_POST['ban_status'];
$result = 'true';
$banned = strpos($user_banned, $result);

if ($banned === false) {
   //Nothing happens, member is not banned.
} else {
   print_no_permission();
}

?>

In header template:

PHP Code:

$flacookie
