Hi,
Ill try to explain this the best i can. I am trying to call the various variables that vb offers, such as $bbuserinfo[username] etc in an exturnal file.
ie
My forum is at mysite.com/forums/vb-installation
I wish to call the variables in a file located at
mysite.com/myfile.php
I have tried this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<base href="http://www.mysite.com/forums/" />
</head>
<body>
<?php
include("global.php");
echo $bbuserinfo['username'];
?>
</body>
</html>
but I get all sorts of errors from the global.php file.
Anyone any ideas on how to call the information I need?
Regards
