$row = mysql_fetch_array( $result );
$php = $row['cur_rate'];

echo "<p style=\"font-size:70%;\"><b>1 USD = PHP $php</b></p>";?>

//end orignal code

i set up a plugin called currency using vbulletin and global_start and did this:

$today = date('Y-m-d');
$con = mysql_connect('localhost', 'username', 'passwd1');
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("dbname_currency", $con);
$query = "SELECT cur_rate FROM currency WHERE cur_date = '$today' AND cur_code = 'PHP'";
$result = mysql_query($query)
or die(mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$php = $row['cur_rate'];

then i save this as currency (plugin)

and then go to the header to insert the information i wanted:

echo "<p style=\"font-size:70%;\"><b>1 USD = PHP $php</b></p>";

what am i doing wrong?

thanks.
