vB_Template::preRegister('header', array('includedheader' => $includedphp)); 


with this in the header template: {vb:raw includedheader}

(the variable names needed to match in the ob_get_contents() and preRegister lines).

That worked. Thanks a bunch.

I must the most idiot on this forums.

I'm trying to include a second php file (for footer this time) and am having problems again.

This time this is what im using:

ob_start();   
include('/home/XXXX/public_html/bh_includes/footer-common.php'); 
$includedfphp = ob_get_contents(); 
ob_end_clean(); 
vB_Template::preRegister('footer', array('includedfooter' => $includedfphp));

and {vb:raw includedfooter}

That doesnt work either. I changed the includedphp to includedfphp because using just the includedphp didnt work. I assumed it was because that variable was already being used elsewhere so i changed it (nothing happened though)
