Ive been coding for nearly 7 years and have been contracted on big projects in excess of $500 for a script. My knowledge of coding need not be questioned by you.

ps. I dont like using eval why use another function when i can simply <?php and ?> around things.

Thanks

I did not mean to offend by my post. I was merely suggesting that a more efficient way to it was to use something like (this is code from my portal, it wont work with vB2 so dont try it)

PHP Code:

        $news = $DB_site->query("
        SELECT thread.threadid,thread.title,thread.replycount,thread.postusername,thread.postuserid,thread.dateline,thread.views,thread.iconid,post.pagetext
        FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread
        LEFT JOIN post ON (post.threadid = thread.threadid AND post.dateline = thread.dateline)
        WHERE forumid = '$vboptions[ap_news_forumid]'
        ORDER BY thread.dateline DESC
        LIMIT $vboptions[ap_news_numofnews]
    ");
        while ($newss = $DB_site->fetch_array($news))
        {
            $newss['dateline'] = vbdate($vboptions['dateformat'], $newss['dateline'], 1);
            $newss['pagetext'] = parse_bbcode($newss['pagetext']);
            eval('$portal_news .= "' . fetch_template('portal_news') . '";');
        } 


Its almost the same with vB2, although I do believe it will require editing newreply.php but thats it.
