    Hi all,

    Just upgraded to VB 3.5 and I am completely lost with the hook things.

    With VB 3.0.8, I was able to put my includes in the phpinclude_start template in the format below and just pull the variables into the appropriate templates. Now I understand I'm supposed to create a hook in the global_start but how do I pull these variables into the templates?

    Thanks in advance and green rep for your help!

    ob_start();
    include('../newtheme/forums.php');
    $cssoff = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();

    ob_start();
    include('../newtheme/head.php');
    $myhead = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();

    ob_start();
    include('../newtheme/outsideheader.php');
    $myside = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();

    ob_start();
    include('../newtheme/selectdb.php');
    $killdb = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();

    ob_start();
    require('../newtheme/footermessage.php');
    $footermessage = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();

    ob_start();
    require('../newtheme/feeds.php');
    $announcement = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();

    global start sounds like the right place. the ob_start() and ob_get_contents() lines are a little confusing to me - there's nowhere that's executing code, so ob_get_contents should be null - maybe I'm missing something here, but just a thought as I peruse the forums... maybe you want to use eval() to execute the php includes prior to ob_get_contents.
