Check your error_logs and see if anything is showing up there. Otherwise, I'm not sure what else to suggest.

I see what you mean, it does work. I am using the plugin system to include a custom login box .php file I have made and inserting it in the header. Now, if this file is on any other page but a vBulletin one it shows $notifications_total fine. If it is included using the plugin system into my vbulletin skin $notifications_total doesn't work in my php file but it does in the template header.

I am using global_start hook for the plugin. Am I doing something wrong?
