Hi Micha many thanks for getting back to me.

I think I've tried every thing I can think of including taking the global array out.

I even moved navbar.inc to the Themes directory thinking that it might be a security issue.

Embedding the file into the main.tbl is the only thing that seems to work but that is pretty useless as its a navigation memu that used on many other pages.

As soon as I insert {php}***{/php} or {include_php *** } I get a blank screen.
