    the TPL file is included inside the PHP file.

      Are you using a template parser ?
      If so, look in the documentation of the parser.

      If not, include the template only after you have created your variables
      and by having {$variablename} in the tpl file where you want the
      variable to be placed it will automatically be replaced.

      Even so, it all really depends on your set up, i.e. how the tpl file is
      used and interpreted, so the suggested solution may not work.
      If it doesn't give us some code so we can make educated suggestions.

              Hi Maximus,

              If my suggestion worked, you don't need to read up on template files,
              you need to read up on the include statement and understand how that
              works: http://www.php.net/manual/nl/function.include.php

              If you really want to works with proper templating, you may want to look
              at some open source template parsers.
              There are numerous ones available, I won't recommend any as which one
              would be best, depends on your requirements.

              Grz, J.

                  I really recomend the PHP templating parser. I've heard it is really
                  powerful. And from what I can tell in my experience, it is really easy
                  to use.

                      What is a template parser? I use Savant currently.

                          In this context, I suppose you could describe a template parser as a
                          program which "processes" or "interperte s" template files.

                          An example of a template is

                          <?php include "BusinessLogic. php"; ?>
                          <html><head><ti tle><?php echo $title ?></title></head>
                          <body>
                          <h1><?php echo $title ?></h1>
                          <?php echo $content ?>
                          </body>
                          </html>

                          and php is the program that can interperate this template. Note, your
                          graphic designer can also load this template up in a product like
                          dreamweaver and work with the design.

                          Neat huh?

                              I had a quick look at servant.

                              It actually does use PHP for it's templates - which is good.
                              I would say it is more of an application framework for controlling
                              separation of concerns (SOC) and things like error management etc. So I
                              quite like it. It's better than nothing, and will save you making your
                              own application framework.

                              However, I wouldn't use it myself.
