PHP Widget and Database

Hi,

I'm looking at the new PHP widget and trying to work out how to use it and if it's possible.

I'm wanting to connect to a database and then display rows from the database but I'm a little confused on how to use the $output part.

Can anyone enlighten me?

Here's a very rough of the idea

PHP Code:


		
			
$rows = $db->query("

        SELECT *

        FROM gig

        ");



echo '<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">';

echo '<tr class="tcat">';

echo '<td class="smallfont" align=center width="100"><b>Title</b></td>';

echo '<td class="smallfont" align=center><b>Date</b></td>';





while ($row = $db->fetch_array($rows))

{

echo '<tr class="alt2">';

echo '<td class="smallfont" align=center>' . $row[gig_title] . '</td>';

echo '<td class="smallfont" align=center>' . $row[date] . '</td>';

echo '</tr>';

}





echo '</tr>';

echo '</table>';

echo '<br />';

Instead of echo use a template or put it into the $output variable!
You could also work with the ouput buffer.

PHP Code:


		
			
ob_start();
your code
$output .= ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

Yeah I switched to output after reading a few threads but now getting this error message

Fatal error: Call to a member function fetch_array() on a non-object in /home/iycstaff/public_html/packages/vbcms/widget/execphp.php(171) : eval()'d code on line 17

Any ideas what's going wrong?

Sorry it should be vB::$db

That worked a peach, cheers. I wonder if I can pull anything from another database rather than the vbulletin one?
