phpBB variables

Anthony_john5

I have found that I can easily include the phpBB header on pages outside of my phpBB directory by adding

include('./forum/templates/subSilver/overall_header.tpl');

however when I do this instead of it displaying the usual phpBB header it displays the variables phpBB uses instead of the text it is supposed to be replaced by. See example:
www.gravity.me.uk/test.php

Does anyone know what I can add to the php to get it to load the variables properly?

My guess is that it was programmed to do that (otherwise, it shouldn't do it). The code is probably only meant to be used with PHPbb, and you'd have to alter PHPbb to get it to work right.
