Ok i am using the code below to replace custom tags eg. <newcode> within the template.php. Now what i need to know is how can i put code in a function or however i could do it so that it can be put into the replace string.

<?php 

$template = implode( "" , file( "template.php" ) ); 

\\The Code within the "fuctions" goes here

$template = str_replace( "<newcode>" , $functioncode , $template ); 
echo $template; 

?>

Ok as no one replied yet let me start over more simple, and i think i ght work it out from here, so how do you put PHP code in a function then call that function for the code to run?

function function_name($arg1,$arg2)
{
    switch($arg1)
    {
        case 'moo':
            return $arg2;
            break;
        default:
                return "moo";
    }
}

that what you're looking for?

umm, i dunno really, like i put in the first post would there be anyway to just add the code where the coment is here and then run it in the replace string, say its the date inside the function.

<?php  

$template = implode( "" , file( "template.php" ) );  

//The Code within the "fuctions" goes here 

$template = str_replace( "<newcode>" , $functioncode , $template );  

echo $template;  

?>
