PHP Code:

chdir('path/to/forum');

Otherwise...good luck...that code looks horrible

lol thx, I think I'll need more than luck with this code i.e. The one already in use...will let you know how I get on. I did try the require ('global.php'); statment at the beginning of the page before and it came up a few syntax errors. I did make some code up to join the two data together to try and force the VB info into the variables, but its not working.
