Plug in help please

[Jolten]

I've got a plug in set to hook at global_start.

The included php contains a couple additional includes to non-vb code and db functions.

After these includes there's a simply foreach loop that should display list items for the results.

Inside the plugin include I've tried echoing the loop items a la:

PHP Code:

<?
foreach blah {
echo '<li>'.$d_row['item'].'</li>';
} else { blah }
?>

I've also tried escaping php and putting html inside the include a la:

PHP Code:

<?
foreach blah {
?>
<li><? echo $d_row['item']; ?></li>
<?
} else { blah }
?>

Neither of these will display the list items. However, if I call the include directly from a browser the list items do display. It's only when attempting to use the plug in that the list wont' work.

The code for the plug in is here:

PHP Code:

ob_start();
   include('/path/navigator.php');
   $includedphp = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean(); 

I've reviewed the online manual and read all I could. From everything I've read it should be working.

Can someone help me out with what I may be missing?

I'm really trying to avoid calling a new template, but if that is indeed the problem then I'll live with the fact that I have to add a template.

Thanks.
