including php in postbit template?

How do I include the following code in postbit?

PHP Code:


		
			
<?

    $dbHost = "xxx";

    $dbUser = "xxx";

    $dbPass = "xxx";

    $dbName = "xxx";



    $link = mysql_connect($dbHost, $dbUser, $dbPass) or die ("Could not connect to server");

    mysql_select_db($dbName) or die("Could not select database");



$sql_1 = "SELECT * FROM sgbadverts WHERE FromDate <= now() AND ToDate >= now() AND SpaceID = 9 AND IsDefault = 'N'

AND FromDate IS NOT NULL AND ToDate IS NOT NULL AND Active = 'Y' AND ImageURL !=0 ORDER BY ToDate ASC LIMIT 1";

$result1 = mysql_query($sql_1, $link);



if (mysql_num_rows($result1)==1)

{

$row1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($result1);

$ToDate1 = $row1['ToDate'];

$FromDate1 = $row1['FromDate'];

$Comment1 = $row1['Comment'];

$BusinessName1 = $row1['BusinessName'];



$Dimensions = $row1['AdvertDimensions'];

list($Width, $Height) =

   split(" ", $Dimensions);



?>

<a href="<?=$row1['InternalURL'];?>" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.xxx.com/advertising_artwork/<?=$row1['ImageURL'];?>" width="<?=$Width?>" height="<?=$Height?>" border="0"></a>

<?

}



?>

Normally I use $insertbannerhere and use:

PHP Code:


		
			
ob_start(); 

include("http://www.southport.gb.com/dynamic_chat_middle_advert.php");

$sgbchatmiddle = ob_get_contents(); 

ob_end_clean();

in phpinclude_start.

However, this does not seem to be available in postbit?

Include the php code in the functions_showthread, and then the html in the postbit template would be my best advice.

Whenever I need to use php in postbit I always add code to the functions_showthread. But watch that query, because it'll hit for every poster if I remember right. So if your viewing a page and have it set to list 25 posts, you'll have like 25 queries extra.

At least thats the way it seemed when I had a query in my rpg code.

At a guess (realize I'm great at modifying code to work, but at writing it from scratch I suck), so load this up on a test site and give it a whirl -

Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
$show['messageicon'] = iif($post['iconpath'], true, false);

Add ABOVE it:

PHP Code:


		
			
$sql_1 = "SELECT * FROM sgbadverts WHERE FromDate <= now() AND ToDate >= now() AND SpaceID = 9 AND IsDefault = 'N'
AND FromDate IS NOT NULL AND ToDate IS NOT NULL AND Active = 'Y' AND ImageURL !=0 ORDER BY ToDate ASC LIMIT 1";
$result1 = mysql_query($sql_1, $link);
 
if (mysql_num_rows($result1)==1)
{
$row1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($result1);
$ToDate1 = $row1['ToDate'];
$FromDate1 = $row1['FromDate'];
$Comment1 = $row1['Comment'];
$BusinessName1 = $row1['BusinessName'];
 
$Dimensions = $row1['AdvertDimensions'];
list($Width, $Height) =
split(" ", $Dimensions);

Save and upload.

Then in the postbit template put this where you want it -

PHP Code:


		
			
<a href="$row1['InternalURL']" target="_blank"><img src=http://www.xxx.com/advertising_artwork/$row1['ImageURL'] width="$Width" height="$Height" border="0"></a>

Hypothetically, if I'm lookin at your code right, that's where I'd start fiddling.

Like I said, I'm great a modifying but I don't know jack about writing from scratch :), Never touched a "how-to" book, or taken any coding classes :squareeyed:
