[iafraid]

Hi,

Trying to call some vBulletin methods from my own scripts. This is vB 3.5.4 under WinXP localhost w/ Apache 1.3.33 and PHP 5.0.4. I am executing the following inside one of my wrapper class methods:

$current_dir = getcwd();
chdir( '../../htdocs/forums' );
require_once( './global.php' ); 
require_once( './includes/class_dm.php' );

* MY CODE GOES HERE *

chdir( $current_dir );

...but I'm getting the following fatal errors which bomb out in the require_once of global.php, which bascially is telling me the $vbulletin variable is empty/NULL even though global.php calls init.php and that $vbulletin variable should already be instantiated via the logic in init:

Warning: array_keys() [function.array-keys]: The first argument should be an array in \includes\functions.php on line 3277

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in \includes\functions.php on line 3277

Fatal error: Call to a member function query_read() on a non-object in c:\Dev\htdocs\forums\includes\functions.php on line 2502

Fatal error: Call to a member function unlock_tables() on a non-object in c:\Dev\htdocs\forums\includes\functions.php on line 4419

Fatal error: Call to a member function unlock_tables() on a non-object in c:\Dev\htdocs\forums\includes\functions.php on line 4419

...what other environment type setup do I need? Everyone else seems to happily do a chdir() and require_once of global.php and everything works from there.

Are there other vBulletin directory assumptions beyond the chdir?

TIA,
- John
