variable in template header not parse?? why??

I put $welcometext inside template header but it not work, i want to move $welcometext from forumhome to header coz of my board design... does anything inside header will not parse?

it's cuzz the header template is loaded in global.php. And when index.php calls up global.php (it does that right at the beginning) the $welcometext variable is still empty. So it will not show up.

edit global.php

FIND:

if (!$header) {

ABOVE it add:

if (!$welcometext) {
	if ($bbuserinfo['userid']!=0) {
		$username=$bbuserinfo['username'];
		eval("\$welcometext = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_welcometext')."\";");
	} else { // username to dislpay when he's not registered.
		$username='Stranger';
		eval("\$welcometext = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_welcometext')."\";");
	}
} else {
	if ($bbuserinfo['userid']!=0) {
		$username=$bbuserinfo['username'];
		eval("\$welcometext .= \"".gettemplate('forumhome_welcometext')."\";");
	} else { // username to dislpay when he's not registered.
		$username='Stranger';
		eval("\$welcometext .= \"".gettemplate('forumhome_welcometext')."\";");
	}
}
