<?php
function theme_render_template($template_file, $variables) {
  extract($variables, EXTR_SKIP);               // Extract the variables to a local namespace
  ob_start();                                   // Start output buffering
  include DRUPAL_ROOT . '/' . $template_file;   // Include the template file
  $contents = ob_get_contents();                // Get the contents of the buffer
