get template function

[Xenon]

gettemplate('home_statistics') just gets the tempölate home_statistics out of the db.
it's just a string then.

the eval means, that the string gets parsed as it would be in real php files, that's how the variables get parsed.

you can use every variable in your template which is defined in your calling function (-> every var you can access in this function can also be used in the template)
