PHP help?

[Team_RCRR]

Okay I have been reading over W3 schools.com for about 1day 1/2. I have developed a script (I think it will work) and I wonder how would you "export" it to use for VB?
Here's the script:
<?php
$m=month("M");
if ($m=="January")
echo "MacWorld 2009 is going to be BIG!";
else
echo "MacWorld 2009 here we come!";
?>


Now this is a stupid useless code I know that but it would be my first line I have ever done.

Put this in a hook that is called before the template you want this to display in is eval'd.



if(month("M") == "January")
$templatevar = "MacWorld 2009 is going to be BIG!";
else
$templatevar = "MacWorld 2009 here we come!";


Put $templatevar in the template where you want the words to display.

Good work. Nice to see people apply themselves instead of just asking for a gimmie.

Oh yeah, set your editor to 4 space tab too. ;)

Ohh that makes a lot of sense! Thanks for the help!

Glad to help. Take a look at existing hacks to get clues on how to make it a product. Or make a product in the acp and add hooks to it and export it.

Nice, clean code is also good (since you're learning). One thing to do is to avoid using too generic variables, as other modifications may "take over" your variable.
if (month('M') == 'January')
{
$macworld = 'MacWorld 2009 is going to be BIG!';
}
else
{
$macworld = 'MacWorld 2009 here we come!';
}
