Ah, didn't work ;-( I tried like 50 different codes last night. Well now I'm glad the code is right but tere is something wrong. It doesn't display the number.
My msn is twolvesfan624@msn.com and aim is twolvesfan369, I think my problem lies with something else. Treat be as a noob to this. I think I'm forgetting a vital step.
By the way I used this tutorial to create a new page.

Edit, so here is my php code
<?php
// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'ban'); // change this depending on your filename
// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array(
);
// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array(
);
// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array(
'BAN',
);
// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array(
);
// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');
// ################################################## #####################
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
// ################################################## #####################
$navbits = array();
$navbits[$parent] = 'Ban Page';
$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('BAN') . '");');
// Count the total bans
$totalbans = $db->query_first_slave("
SELECT COUNT(userid) AS bans
FROM userban
");
?>
and here is my template
$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle]</title>
$headinclude
</head>
<body>
$header
$navbar
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><center><h1>BAN LIST</h1></center></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">
<center>$vboptions[bbtitle] Ban Statistics</center>
Total Bans: $totalbans[bans]
</td>
</tr>
</table>
$footer
</body>
</html>
You must run the query BEFORE you eval the template. These statements:
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('BAN') . '");');
Should be the last two in your code. Whenever print_output is called it issues an exit - you never come out of that eval statement and never reach the query.
