Calendar Events on Non-vB Pages

Hey everyone, I'm having a little trouble with a script posted on this forum. Basically I just want show 1 calendar event (the script was to show 5) and jsut the title of the event and a link to it in the calendar page. Here is the code:

(sorry I forgot who posted it)

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php BEGIN__VBULLETIN__CODE__SNIPPET 



$events = $DB_site->query("select * from event order by dateline DESC limit 5"); 



if ($DB_site->num_rows($events)) 

{ 

        while ($ev = $DB_site->fetch_array($events)) 

        { 

             $news=""; 

             $new_date = vbdate('Y.m.d', $ev['dateline'], false, false); 

             $news .= "<B>".$new_date."</B><BR>"; 

             $news .= $ev['title']."<BR>"; 



echo "<A HREF=\"calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=$ev[eventid]&day=$new_date&c=1\">$news</A>"; 

               

        } 

} 





?>

I'm having a little trouble trying to understand the script, what exactly is "BEGIN__VBULLETIN__CODE__SNIPPET" and to make the script work, I would have to select event, title, eventid, and dateline right?

             $news .= "<B>".$new_date."</B><BR>"; 

             $news .= $ev['title']."<BR>"; 



echo "<A HREF=\"calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=$ev[eventid]&day=$new_date&c=1\">$news</A>"; 

               

        } 

} 





?>

Change this:

PHP Code:


		
			
limit 5

to this:

PHP Code:


		
			
limit 1

and disregard the "BEGIN__VBULLETIN__CODE__SNIPPET" as it's not needed.

And to just show the title...

change this:

PHP Code:


		
			
            $news=""; 

             $new_date = vbdate('Y.m.d', $ev['dateline'], false, false); 

             $news .= "<B>".$new_date."</B><BR>"; 

             $news .= $ev['title']."<BR>";

to this:

PHP Code:


		
			
              $news = $ev['title'];

That was quick lol...

Thank you so much, going to try it out right now

Ok well I tried it out, and changed the script so it looks like...

PHP Code:


		
			
<?

$connection = mysql_connect("localhost", "dbusername", "dbpass") or die("err");



mysql_select_db("db",$connection) or die ("err2");



$events = $DB_site->query("select * from event order by dateline DESC limit 1"); 



if ($DB_site->num_rows($events)) 

{ 

        while ($ev = $DB_site->fetch_array($events)) 

        { 

        $news = $ev['title']; 



echo "<A HREF=\"calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=$ev[eventid]&day=$new_date&c=1\">$news</A>"; 

               

        } 

} 





?>

"Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/socalbi/public_html/bikenights.php on line 6"

Whats that mean?

Use this:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php



// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);



// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################

define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);



// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################

require_once('./global.php');



$events = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM event ORDER BY dateline DESC LIMIT 1"); 



if ($DB_site->num_rows($events)) 

{ 

        while ($ev = $DB_site->fetch_array($events)) 

        { 

        $news = $ev['title']; 



echo "<A HREF=\"calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=$ev[eventid]&day=$new_date&c=1\">$news</A>"; 

                

        } 

} 





?>

Thanks, but I'm still having a problem (its the php include problem) on my site, I put the script (bikenights.php) in my forums folder, (so I don't have to edit the script) and when I use <?php include('/forums/bikenight.php'); ?> it says:

"Warning: main(/forums/bikenights.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/socalbi/public_html/index2.php on line 111"

Forgive me for being a noob, but php/mysql is just not my thing ><
