showing php output in all pages

[robk123]

hi
i have a php script (lets just say that it has the line echo "hello world"; in it)
i want to be able to display the output of the php code below the header in phpbb

how would i do this?
thanks

phpBB does not work like that.

Output is done via .html template files so whatever you want to output needs to be sent as a template variable to the template and then that variable needs to be placed in the template at the position you want it displaying.

do u mean that i need to create a variable, and put it in the header template?

if so, how would i do that?

Yes

Take a look at some of the core files - this is done in virtually every phpBB .php file

ok.. i have now made a php file in the root of the phpbb installation.
it calls $template->assign_var in it.

which file should i require it in, for it to run on every page?

overall_header.html of whatever style(s) you are using.
