i personally use FastTemplate. but the concept is the same.

simplified template page
...
{BASE}
{TITLE}
{CONTENT}
{FOOTER}
...

in your php code page, load in "base_page.inc" and assign it to "BASE".
excute your start_page function and pass it what ever, then assign the
results to "TITLE". process and assign for "CONTENT". execute end_page
function and assign the results to "FOOTER". print the page.

keep your layout as layout. makes it easier for designers. keep the codes
in the code script. makes it easier for the coders. what you are doing
defeats the purpose of templates.
