Wait.  I'm confused as to what you're doing.

I thought you were using this script to generate a PHP page which THEN got 
browsed.  Now, it seems the script you're writing is the browsed page 
itself.

In this case, you need to do something along these lines, depending again 
on what you're trying to do...

If you're trying to stick the string returned by popbig() (assuming you're
returning a string, and not using the function just to echo out strings)
into $data...

$data = 'blah blah<br />' . popbig('holster');

By the way, don't forget to put in means for people to examine your photos 
if they don't have JavaScript activated.

Putting page contents in an array sounds wasteful.

Store each page as a file.  Store common headers and footers in two
separate files.  Include the headers/footers at the top/bottom of each 
page.  Then, in the body of each page, include your popbig() function as 
needed.
