Theme.php calls html files question

New Member Joined: Aug 21, 2006 Posts: 6

On some of the themes the theme.php calls a html file to insert instead of doing all the code in php. I understand how that works and love it since it keeps a better format to work in I think. The problem Im having is I need to use ' in places in the html file and it just does not work. I can't use \' because stripslashes takes away the \ . I hope this is making sense to everyone as Im almost confused asking now. I know I can just do the whole code in theme.php with echos. I just like using the external html files so i can find and fix things alittle faster in my upcoming themes. A example is below:

if i want to call a javascript function and use say somefunction('var') the ' and ' dont translate. they get turned into \' even if i had \'var\' in the first place. any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Is what your doing something similar to this?

Code:




    $tmpl_file = 'themes/3D-Fantasy/header.html';


    $thefile = implode('', file($tmpl_file));


    $thefile = addslashes($thefile);


    $thefile = "\$r_file=\"".$thefile."\";";


    eval($thefile);

Yes, the theme im currently working with uses just that. I want to be able to use ' inside the html code that the above code calls up.
