[RESOLVED] how do i get a value from a html file using php

I use a skybluecanvas as my cms however it has no longer has any developer community, so i thought i'd ask my question here.

I have my main menu which is loaded using the code below.

This code is in my template file, used to call the menu code:

Code:

---

<div id="menu">
<!--#plugin:fragment(menu,view,menu=1)-->
</div>

---

I have a second menu stored in xml but cant display it, changing the value of 'menu' has no effect. However in the 'view.php' code below where i have marked, there is a number 1 that when i change to 3 loads my new menu.

As an easy way round i tried to duplicate the menu code to create a new fragment but when i call it i only get a blank page as it loads the functions.php. So i need away to get the menu value from my template and pass it to view.php.

menu/functions.php (this code is loaded before view.php):

Code:

---

<?php

function the_class(&$item) {
    global $Filter;
    if ($Filter->get($_GET, 'pid', DEFAULT_PAGE) == $item->id) {
                echo ' class="active"';
        }
        echo null;
}

function the_link(&$item) {
    global $Router;
    echo $Router->GetLink($item->id);
}

function the_text(&$item) {
    echo $item->name;
}

function not_valid_menu(&$item) {
    return empty($item->menu) || !$item->published;
}

?>

---

menu/view.php:

Code:

---

<?php

    global $Router;
    global $Filter;
   
    $menu = $Core->SelectObj(
        $Core->xmlHandler->ParserMain(SB_XML_DIR . 'menus.xml'),
        1//<<<<< this is the value i need to change, the value of menu
    );
   
?>
<div class="horizontal-menu">
    <?php if (count($data)) : ?>
    <ul id="mainmenu">
        <?php foreach ($data as $item) : ?>
        <?php if (not_valid_menu($item)) continue; ?>
        <?php if ($item->menu != $menu->id) continue; ?>
        <li<?php the_class($item); ?>>
            <a href="<?php the_link($item); ?>"><span><?php the_text($item); ?></span></a>
        </li>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
    </ul>
    <?php endif; ?>
</div>
