Ok, I imstalled both the .cgi and .php versions on a test page, but neither worked. Here's the gist of the page:

PHP Code:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
   <BASEFONT face="Verdana, Arial, helvetica" size="2">
   <content="4; URL=http://www.lilymud.com/forum/">
   <META name="Author" CONTENT="Lilymud">
   <META name="Description" content="">
   <META name="Keywords" content="">   
<TITLE>Test</TITLE>
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
<!--
BODY {
    SCROLLBAR-BASE-COLOR: 000080;
    SCROLLBAR-ARROW-COLOR: ffffff;
}
SELECT {
    FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;
    FONT-SIZE: 9px;
    COLOR: black;
    BACKGROUND-COLOR: #CFCFCF
}
TEXTAREA, .bginput {
    FONT-SIZE: 10px;
    FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;
    COLOR: black;
    BACKGROUND-COLOR: #CFCFCF
}
A:link, A:visited, A:active {
    COLOR: FFFFFF;
TEXT-DECORATION: underline;
}
A:hover {
    COLOR: ffffcc;
TEXT-DECORATION: none;
}
    -->
</STYLE>
</script>
</head>

<body bgcolor="#666696">

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote>
  <blockquote>
    <blockquote>
      <blockquote>
 <p align="center"><font face="Arial">Text/article here.</font></p>

        <p align="center"><font face="Arial"></font></p>
       [b]<!--#include virtual=/discussion_link.php?topic=Topic+Title+Here&forum=13 -->[/b]

    
      </blockquote>
    </blockquote>
  </blockquote>
</blockquote>
</body>
</html> 
What am I doing wrong? I'm not extremely familiar with the #include option.

For reference, here's my discussion_link.php page (password/username starred out for security reasons..duh):

PHP Code:
<?
############################################################################
#  Per-Site Variable Settings
############################################################################

   $username = "*******";
   $password = "*******";
   $database = "lilymud";
   $forumpath = "http://www.lilymud.com/forum"; # no trailing /

############################################################################
   
   $link = db_connect() or exit();
   $query = "SELECT title FROM forum WHERE forumid = $forum";

   $result = mysql_query("$query") or exit();

   if (mysql_num_rows($result)) {
      while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
         $forum_name = $row["title"];
      }
   }

   $quoted_title = addslashes($topic);
   $query = "SELECT threadid FROM thread WHERE forumid = $forum AND title = \"$quoted_title\"";
   $result = mysql_query("$query") or exit();
   if (mysql_num_rows($result)) {
      while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
         $threadid = $row["threadid"];
      }
   }
   $topic = str_replace(" ", "+", $topic);
  
   if ($threadid <= 0) {
      print "<A HREF=\"$forumpath/newthread.php?s=&action=newthread&forumid=$forum&subject=$topic\">Start a Conversation!</A>";
   } else {
     print ("<A HREF=\"$forumpath/showthread.php?s=&threadid=$threadid\">Join the Conversation!</A>");
   }

function db_connect ()
{
    global $username, $password, $database;
    $link = @mysql_pconnect("localhost", $username, $password);
    if ($link && mysql_select_db($database)) return($link);
    return(FALSE);
}

?>

Can anyone help..?

The #include will only work if your Apache web server supports server-side includes (SSI). With regard to the PHP version that akiy posted - you just have to include it in using PHPs include syntax:

PHP Code:
<? include "/path/to/your/script/whatever.php"; ?>
Cheers.

This looks like a nice hack!

I am testing it with the php version. I have named it discussion.php and uploaded it to the forums directory.

What is exactly what I need to include below to make sure it starts or joins in a conversation?

<? include "/path/to/my/forums/discussion.php"; ?>

The way it is, it just displays a blank page.

OK, that worked, but now I recieve this error where the link should be.

Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in /home/sites/site207/web/browse.php on line 306

Warning: Failed opening '/discussion_link.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:..:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/sites/site207/web/browse.php on line 306

The usr/local/lib/php would be necessary? I wasn't aware php required a bin.. but I'm a novice, so eh.. is there any quick fix to this?

I would guess your include path is not the full path - if your on a shared server this is likely to be the case - you may need to add sometheing like www/public_html/ infront of your path. You cant set a .htaccess to stop you having to do this repetitively (which I have done) - but don't ask me how off my head. - do a search.

stroppytart 07-04-2001 06:11 PM
this is the full, absolute location.

<? include "/home/sites/site207/web/discussion_link.php"; ?>

I insert that text, on .php pages, .cgi pages, .html pages.. no luck. its blank on all of them. Not so much as an error anymore.

chilliboy 07-05-2001 07:09 AM
Have you tried it without the starting / ie <? include ("home/sites/site207/web/discussion_link.php"); ?> ??

I doubt this would be the prob though as you would get 'file not found error' - unless you have turned off error reporting.

PS. I haven't tried this hack yet, so I may be missing something.

Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in /home/sites/site207/web/get.php on line 144

Warning: Failed opening 'home/sites/site207/web/discussion_link.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:..:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/sites/site207/web/get.php on line 144


Got this again. Do you think the first "open_basedir" is a setting, perhaps a permissions setting that needs to be configured? I did a google search for this error text, and it appears to be VERY common.
