Just wanted to let everyone know that I have refreshed the .txt files that I posted earlier. They now have the correct code in them for utilitzing PHP objects for your page template. The new file that Charter suggested is in this link:

I plan on leaving them there for a while to help anyone who comes along later and wants to do the same thing.
Hope you find it useful.
