help in a templating class

Hi guys, this is my first actual php post here and it's about a problem with a line in the simple templating class that i have. the class it's this:

PHP Code:


			
<?php
class View {
    public $template;
    public $d='%'; //delimiter
    
    function load($f) {
        $f=WEB_HOST.'components/'.$f;
        if(!file_exists($f)) return FALSE;
        $this->template = file_get_contents($f);
    }
    
    function delimit($delimeter) {
        $this->d=$delimeter;
    }
    
    function replace($var, $content) {
        $this->template = str_replace($this->d.$var.$this->d, $content, $this->template);
    }
    
    function publish() {
        eval("?>".$this->template."<?");
    }
}
?>

the problem seems to be in the function file_get_contents() because nothing seems to be saved in the template variable. I have tried change it by using file, fopen, fread functions and also even using curl, but nothing seems to save the text of the file in the variable. I am lost with this. Any help would help me, and thanks in advance

Also I would like your opinion in the publish function, i feel not very secure using the eval() function.
