vb.org Archive - New box under "What's going on?" which contains information from another database?

I've really tried to search for help but I couldn't find anything usefull. I haven't really modified any vB pages this way before so now I'm gonna ask you experts! :)

I want to create another box under the "Currently Active Users". It will contain info about how many users are active in our chat.

This is how it looks:

I tried to add the code below in the forumhome template but it won't work. Anyone have any ideas of how I can make this work?

Here's the code I use for the script:

PHP Code:

<?php

$db=mysql_connect("*****", "*****", "*****");

mysql_select_db("*****", $db);



$query   = "*****";

$result  = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error);

$row     = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC);

$numrows = $row['numrows'];



$query3 = "*****";

$result3 = mysql_query($query3) or die(mysql_error());



list($chattername) = mysql_fetch_array($result3);



?>



<table class="tborder" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

    <tr>

        <td class="thead" colspan="2">

            <a href="*****" target="_blank">Currently Active Users In EA Chat</a>: <?php echo $numrows ?>

        </td>

    </tr>

</tbody>

<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_activeusers" style="">

    <tr>

        <td class="alt2"><a href="*****" target="_blank""><img src="chat.gif" alt="pic" border="0" height="20" width="20" /></a></td>

        <td class="alt1" width="100%">

            <div class="smallfont">



                <div style="white-space: nowrap">Most active chatter: <b><?php echo $chattername ?></b></div>

                <div>

<?php

$query2 = "*****";

$result2 = mysql_query($query2) or die(mysql_error());



while(list($name) = mysql_fetch_array($result2))

{

    echo $name . ", ";

}

?>                

                </div>



            </div>

        </td>

    </tr>

</tbody>

<?php

mysql_close();

?>
