Hello all, Can anyone see what's happening here? I'm trying to pass some variables (font stuff) to a cgi script so that it will appear the same as the current theme being used. Everything seems to be working except the replacements. here's the code. Any help much appreciated, thanks! Or would there be a better way to do this? <?php include("/path_to/preload.php"); include($header_forum_prog); $out = implode("\n", file("http://domain.com/path_to/forum.pl$QUERY_STRING")); preg_match_all("/PHP?([^?]+)?PHP/", $out, $matches, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER); for($i=0; $i < count($matches[1]); $i++){ $out = str_replace("PHP?".$matches[1][$i]."?PHP", $$matches[1][$i], $out); } echo $out; include($footer_prog); ?> and the variable in the cgi script are var heading_bgcolor = \"PHP?$bgcolor?PHP\" var heading_font = \"PHP?$ThemeFont?PHP\" but eh variable from the php globals are $bgcolor, $ThemeFont Thanks Richard -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
