amatulic,

Your code works great from a PHP page that has no other includes, but as soon as I plugged it into my own CMS, I got the dreaded:

PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function query_first_slave() on a non-object in /var/www/html/papatangopapa.com/forums/includes/functions.php on line 1194

My CMS has its own session management stuff and also uses a custom __autoload function, I wonder if that breaks things in some weird way.

I think it's due to vBulletin's insane reliance on global variables.

When you have:

A.php including init.php and functions.php directly,

there is no problem.

When you have:

a function in B.php including including C.PHP, which includes init.php and functions.php,

you get:

PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function query_first_slave() on a non-object in /var/www/html/papatangopapa.com/forums/includes/functions.php on line 1194

That's also how and why you might end up using cURL in order to keep your application and the namespace polluting vBulletin back-end completely separate.
