Default Help please! I'm clueless about chdir paths

I'm trying to get "latest threads" to show up on my main site (external location from the forums) but I'm having trouble. I've done some research and it seems there are 2 ways to do this: either via hard coding, or a plugin (VBExternal seems to be the popular choice). I'm trying to get VBExternal to run and I posted in the mod thread but haven't gotten a response. I think my problem is simple, but I can't figure it out due to my lack of coding knowledge. Here's what is says I need to do to make it work:

PHP Code:
How To Use vBExternal:

First the webpage you use it on must be php, if it is .htm/.html just re-name the extension to .php Next step is to call the file, in this example we assume that your site is: http://hello.com, and your forum is located at: http://hello.com/forums, so insert this code at the very top of our php file:

<?php
chdir
('./forums');
require_once(
'./vBExternal.php');
?>
However, although my forum is located 1 folder deep in the root directory (public_html/forum), it's located in a sub-domain, http://forum.mikhailtech.com. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with anything, but typing ./forum doesn't seem to work. Can anyone help me out?
