Accessing $db object from within a sidebar block

Hello,

I'm trying to create my first sidebar block using PHP. I'm hitting an issue where I can't access the $db object from within the code. I've tried both $db and $vbulletin->db

here's a sample of my code:

PHP Code:


		
			
...

require_once('./global.php');

require_once('./includes/functions.php');

$results = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT blah FROM blah");

...

but I just keep getting
Fatal error: Call to a member function query_read() on a non-object in /home/content/04/7100404/html/includes/block/html.php(95) : eval()'d code on line 5

Any ideas?

That code is called from inside a function, so you need to declare any globals you want to use. You want to add:

Code:

global $vbulletin;

(or $db instead of $vbulletin, if you just want to access $db) at the beginning of your block code.

That was it... I forgot one of the basics... Thanks kh99!
