How to add a php include

[mcyates]

How do i include a php file in the header of the forum? (VB3.5 RC2)

I have inserted this but nothing happens



<?php include("http://www.myfootballforum.com/banners/showbanner.php"); ?>

3.0.x or 3.5?

The best way to do this would be through a plugin.

Go to "Add Plugin", and put in your php code (without the <?php ?>), and hook it onto global_start.

i'm unsure as i've never done this before

I received an error:


Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'myfootba@localhost' (Using password: NO) in /includes/functions.php(4191) : eval()'d code on line 69
Die Verbindung zum MySQL-Datenbankserver ist fehlgeschlagen

The opening and closing php tags are not needed in the phpinclude templates.

@mcyates
If your Include uses mySQL, make sure
a) The Tables are in the same Database as vBulletin
OR
b) It uses another Username/Password
OR
c) It opens a new connection
