what am i doing wrong..?

[CP,]

Ok im trying to install two hacks on one non-vb page. Yes those two hacks do work on their own and are suppose to display vb information on my nonvb page.

One hack tells me to put the following on top of the page:

<?php
$curdir = getcwd ();
chdir('/home/user/public_html/forum');
require_once('/home/user/public_html/forum/global.php');
chdir ($curdir);
?>

The other hack tells me to put this on top

<?php
chdir('../forum');
require_once('./apexternal.php');
?>

now how can i put the above two codes together making them one? Stil making them work?

Cheers!

define('CWD', '/home/user/public_html/forum');
require_once(CWD . '/global.php');
require_once(DIR . '/apexternal.php');

Well, I don't know what apexternal.php does do :)
Try require_once

Well, I don't know what apexternal.php does do :)
Try require_once

It gives me a blank page... :( Well im using these two hacks here:
