How do I run a PHP script in my templates? (VB 3.03)

I have written my own code to randomly display a banner that is PHP/mySQL based. What I am trying to figure out is how to get the code which works great when I call it myself to work with Vbulletin.

The code is

PHP Code:


		
			


<?



include("include/dbconnect.php");



$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $table where active = 'Y' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 0,1",$db);



$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);

$did = $row["did"];

$image_url = $row["image_url"];

$url = $row["url"];

$alt_text = $row["alt_text"];

$target = $row["target"];

$width = $row["width"];

$height = $row["height"];

$active = $row["active"];

$richtext = $row["richtext"];

$code = $row["code"];



if ($richtext == 'Y') { $banner = "$code"; } ELSE { $banner = "<a href='$url' target='$target'><img src='$image_url' border='0' alt='$alt_text' width='$width' height='$height'></a>"; }



echo "$banner";



?>

I tried calling this in my forum header template by saying

<script src="http://www.newcelica.org/banners/display.php"></script>

But it does not display anything. Any help is truly appreciated as I'm stumped on this one.

you mean edit index.php rather then the templates. I suppose thats an option but figuring out how to get the placement exactly where you want it with out using the templates is a pita.

Just copy the script into the correct php file and ommit the "echo". And then just put $banner where you want it in the templates.

I tried that and it did not work; It doesn't display anything.

I added the following to the index.php file
require_once('/pathto/display_ar.php');

And in the display_ar.php file I simply set the variable $banner and I tried calling it in my header template and it did nothing.

Why dont you make a plugin?

Hook Location global_start

ob_start();
include('/pathto/display_ar.php'');
$banner = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

and put $banner in your template

also don't forget to set your variable global in plugin - if you will make plugin!

global $banner;
$banner = .....

otherwise you will not see your variable in some templates.

Do you not understand vBulletin 3.0.3 doesn't have a plugin system?

I used to run PHPledads and the script worked perfectly fine with that using the SCRIPT command in the header template. I see that they used document.write which I've also managed to get working in my banner code however the problem I'm having is getting the document.write to display flash and other types of ad codes like google for instance being rich text. It seems like the $banner variable doesn't get interpreted correctly when it is rich text through the SCRIPT SRC = 'mysource.php' command line.

After reading this post, it has really helped me a lot. I spent hours trying to figure out how to put php into my templates and now I know. Thanks
