Help please displaying an image after reading a file

I've been trying to add some code in a Forum block to display a status image that shows on one of our download sites

Code:

www.openvix.co.uk

I've tried adding the code below to a sidebar block and advertising block, but all that vbulletin outputs is: -

Code:

'; ?>

Code I'm using is below: -

Code:

 <?php



$domain = 'http://openvix.co.uk/';

$StatusFile = "./feeds/status";



$states = array('stable', 'un-stable', 'updating');



if(($currentState = @file_get_contents($domain.$StatusFile)) !== false)

{

    $currentState = intval(trim($currentState));

}

else

{

    $currentState = 2;

}



print '<img src="'.$domain.$states[$currentState].'.png" class="statusimage" alt="OpenViX status: '.$states[$currentState].'" />';



?>

Any ideas anyone please?

Thanks in advance.

You want to create a "Custom HTML/PHP" block and make sure you select the "PHP" radio button in the Content Type section. Then you need to "return" the output instead of printing it.

Try using this code:

PHP Code:


		
			
$domain = 'http://openvix.co.uk/';
$StatusFile = "./feeds/status";

$states = array('stable', 'un-stable', 'updating');

if(($currentState = @file_get_contents($domain.$StatusFile)) !== false)
{
    $currentState = intval(trim($currentState));
}
else
{
    $currentState = 2;
}

return '<img src="'.$domain.$states[$currentState].'.png" class="statusimage" alt="OpenViX status: '.$states[$currentState].'" />';

Of course the "Cache Time" setting will control how often it updates. If you want every page request to check you could set it to 0, but if you have a busy forum it could take a lot of server time, so it would be better to set it to at least 1, if it's acceptable to have it update only once per minute.
