Hello everyone, I am currently trying to utilize a part of a file as a plugin. I want to be able to sue this same file for several plugins to reduce number of files. The other issue is that this file is not in the forum root.

Here is the plugin:

Location Global Start
vb version 4.1.5

PHP Code:

ob_start();
  require_once('.intuitco/cotw/functions/cotw_func_contest_num.php?do=sotw');
$cotw_sotw_contests_number = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
vB_Template::preRegister('COTW_SOTW',array('cotw_sotw_contests_number' => $cotw_sotw_contests_number)); 


As you can see the file is in httpdocs(forum root)/intuitco/cotw/functions/ . Also I am trying to use it as php?do=x , not sure if that is valid though when using it as a plugin. When I activate this plugin I get a internal server error, when disabled the page loads fine.

If anyone has any ideas or any additional info that might be useful please do let us know. Thank you for your time everyone.
