help displaying variables

I am trying to insert {welcometext} in the header template, but it does not parse. I am sure it is just a matter of putting some php in index.php or another file, perhaps you could help me out?

you can try adding on a replacement with the code to find is {welcometext} and put in for what you want to replace with is the text that you want....

that didn't work, and the code is $welcometext (i got it wrong in the first post) i am sure it is just a matter of moving a bit of php, im just not sure what...

oh, that, put in the following in the phpinclude template

PHP Code:

$welcometext="whatever" 

then put $welcometext where you want.
