getting VB vars to work in a misc php file in the forum directory?

How would I do this? It's a php news file ( http://www.theforumz.com/forumz/frontpage.php ), but I want to use some fo the variables in VB to call numbers and features, like getting the number of people that are online. (I have FireFly's lil' hack) or getting a PM box on the page, etc. I try it and instead of grabbing the variable, it just shows the variable text instead of getting it. Do I need to require certain VB files inorder to get this to work?

If somebody can help me, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

error_reporting(7);

require('./global.php');



/* rest of your code here */



?>

That's the 'template' you should use for all vBulletin files. Requiring global.php actually gives you access to all the variables and database.

What's the error reporting part suppose to be? It looks like it made it a link? :confused:

EDIT: I just checked my file and I am requiring the global.php file. :confused:

The link is just part of a hack, and error_reporting is a function to set the error reporting level. vBulletin uses 7 (E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE) in all its scripts. You don't have to use it but you should.

Firefly I have included the global.php file in the frontpage.php file and it just shows the var instead of executing it and getting the "code" that is attached to the variable. Anything else?

About the "error_reporting(7);" So I just actually write out

"error_reporting(7);"

It just seemed a little weird since it was so plain. (I thought the php code tag might of changed it.) :confused:

What other files can I include to get this to work?
