[gurpreetsgill]

Hi Guys,

A .tpl aren't part of php. What template library are you using?

hi,

 

I am calling this function from .tpl to .php

 

Llibrary i dont have any idea......its from socialengine......

Well, .tpl files aren't a built in to php is what I'm getting at (so there format isn't common). My example is actual PHP, if that won't work for you you'll need to take a look at the docs for this socialengine.

We would need to see how the $url object's url_create() method works. My guess, is that it looks within a specific set of directories for the file mentioned within the first argument.
