does php work in templates

[Adrian Schneider]

Which template?

You'd put something like this into a plugin (hook depends on template) :

PHP Code:

ob_start();
include('path/to/show_rares.php');
$rares = ob_get_clean(); 


And stick $rares in your template.

global_start works for a lot of the templates if they use global scope and aren't evaluated before this hook.
