Now, the original PHP parsing the .tpl file is part of a forum I didn't write, but I did define the variable in the correct php file. I am using a mod to allow PHP script in the .tpl files (and parse it correctly). Am I pretty much screwed as far as passing variables to the .tpl file goes, or is it possible to somehow do it?
The following do not work:
$var = {var};
$var = {'var'};
$var = "{var}";
$var = '{var}';
(I know, I know, I just started drawing straws after awhile.
