Fantastic. Thank you. A much more helpful reply. Think I can sort this now.

Having some trouble. The page I want to show the info on is in the root while my forum is in a folder called /forum/ and I get this error

Warning: main(/home/public_html/includes/init.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/public_html/forum/global.php on line 20

I edited global.php to include the right path but that then breaks the forum.

Any thoughts on how to load it with the right base path being used etc?

Ok. Got a little further by using

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
chdir("./forum");
require_once("./global.php");
require_once("./includes/functions_bigthree.php");
require_once("./includes/functions_forumlist.php");
chdir("../");

But now I get
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/public_html/forum/includes/functions.php on line 1303
