Users editing PHP variables or scripts

[raingerpete2005]

Hi, I have a PHP template that contains an include for a page header but this
script requires three variables that are pass to the header.php page to tell it
what menu's etc to present.

I can allow users to edit the body of a pages text using contribute but I
can't seem to make any part of the PHP source editable by adding template tags
inside or outside the php tag.

<!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="codeybits" -->
<?php
// Enter the file name or address of the next, previous and map pages.
$menu = "blog.php";
$section = "set12.php";
$map = "map.php";
//
?>
<!-- TemplateEndEditable -->
<?php require_once('template-header.php'); ?>
<?php
<div id="content">
<!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="main content" -->
Main content text....

This is the whole purpose of Contribute, or at least I thought -- User's aren't supposed to gain access to the code that way they can't change it
