Validate Code (Output Buffering)

[rpanning]

Hi, I just want to know if anyone sees a problem with the fallowing code. It's a method in a class that takes care of templating. I'm completely rewriteing the backend for our website because PHP is crashing for some odd reason, see this thread. I think it may be related to this method but not sure. Buy anyway, I would like to reuse this code in the new backend, cleaned up of course. I just wanted to know if anyone sees something wrong with using it, specificly the output buffering. Thanks

function Load()
{
    if (is_file($this->_file)) {
        if (is_readable($this->_file)) {

        // Get Template
        ob_start();
        include($this->_file);
        $template = ob_get_contents();
        ob_end_clean();

        // Get the head, top, and bottom.
        $re = '/(' . preg_quote($this->_head_start) . '){1}(.*)(' . preg_quote($this->_head_end) . '){1}/is';
        (!preg_match($re, $template, $matches)
            ? $this->addError('Error Msg - shortend to fit on screen. (phpBuilder.com)')
            : $this->_head_content = $matches[2]
        );

        $re = '/(' . preg_quote($this->_top_start) . '){1}(.*)(' . preg_quote($this->_top_end) . '){1}/is';
        (!preg_match($re, $template, $matches)
            ? $this->addError('Error Msg - shortend to fit on screen. (phpBuilder.com)')
            : $this->_top_content = $matches[2]
        );

        $re = '/(' . preg_quote($this->_bottom_start) . '){1}(.*)(' . preg_quote($this->_bottom_end) . '){1}/is';
        (!preg_match($re, $template, $matches)
            ? $this->addError('Error Msg - shortend to fit on screen. (phpBuilder.com)')
            : $this->_bottom_content = $matches[2]
        );

    } else
        $this->addError('Error Msg - shortend to fit on screen. (phpBuilder.com)');
} else
    $this->addError('Error Msg - shortend to fit on screen. (phpBuilder.com)');
}

i put this into zend to use the debugger, with a Load() at the bottom to run it, and got the following error

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\dystonia\test.php on line 36

but i think that's normal, as the is_file is showing that it is not an object.

Ok, this is odd. I'm using almost the exact function above but the new system won't include the file. When it gets to the include it never actualy gets the file. I did a 'if is_file...' and it says the file it's tring to include IS a file. Any ideas? Thanks
