As of the moment it is being included by a seperate php file, what want to do, is have the code in the includer file so I may paste varables in a template, without the conditions. I appreciate you looking over my request. Add's thread to my subscriptions.

hmm... I dont quite understand what you mean by "have the code in the includer file so I may paste varables in a template, without the conditions".
Could you clarify?

It is fairly difficult to explain without visuals, but for the sake of keeping things simple.. the php code posted is part of a template, I am converting the template to a CMS (believe that's the term) and want to keep it to just one echo per template in the CMS. I have all ideas I will need to create three seperate templates, I guess my only concern is how to write the php file to set it up to evaluate the templates and use the condition.

for( $x=0; $x < $itemnum; $x++ ) { 

I'm looking for something like this to write to the php file.

• evaluate echo_1

-- condition {

-- evaluate echo_2 }

• evaluate echo_3

I will gladly continue to clearify with visuals, etc. if I'm not explaining myself well enough.
