Hi,
If you can use variable_get(), why not use variable_set() also?
Thanks for the replies. I'm after something that the client can make use of, so it would need to have a decent interface for changing the value: otherwise, I might as well hardwire it in the template!
I don't really have time to learn the Form API for this project because of deadlines: should I just stick this data in a block, so the client can edit it, and then reference that in the code?
Many thanks again, J-P
