I am making a php/html template but cant get it to work...

this is part of my "pagetemplate.html" file:

<div id=titlebar>
  <table width=100% height=100% valign=middle><tr><td valign=middle>
    <div id=title valign=middle>
    #page_title#
    </div>
  </td></tr></table>
</div>

this is my "tpltest1.php" file:

<?php

$title="welcome";

function buildArticle($title) {


   $template = 'pagetemplate.html'; 

   $template = preg_replace("#page_title#", $title, $template);


   return $template;
}

buildArticle($title);

 echo $template;

?>

be sure to hand code into the <body> element all the 0 spacing you want just to be sure it works for all browsers
