I'm trying to add a few lines of php to an Ad Location style to pull some code out of a table in my mySQL db and echo it. Does anybody know the right syntax for this? Standard code doesn't seem to be working for me. Thanks.

on top of this page, you see a tab called "Articles"... you will see there how to integrate your codes to vBulletin.

The style manager limits which PHP functions can be called in templates to:


in_array
is_array
is_numeric
isset
empty
defined
array
can_moderate*
can_moderate_calendar*
exec_switch_bg*
is_browser*
is_member_of*


Note:
Functions marked * are custom functions defined by vBulletin itself. Each function name is a link that will take you to the documentation for that function. Use of these functions requires knowledge of PHP

What you need to do is write a plugin, then define a variable and output the variable in your template.
