Hello,

I need a bit of help understanding how to place this code. I'm a bit new at this, so thank you for your patience.

The code you gave me looks like you're assigning an array of data to the variable $threadinfo. I looked and found that the fetch_threadinfo() function appears in the functions.php document.

I get a Fatal error: Call to undefined function: fetch_threadinfo() when I attempt to make this assignment in my test.php file.

<?php 
chdir("../../../forums");
$threadinfo = fetch_threadinfo(2);

// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ########################### 
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); 

<snip>
?>

Where should I place the above code in order to get the results I mentioned previously?

I would expect that this would resolve correctly leaving $threadinfo to contain the aforementioned array of data. My next step would be to print just the $threadinfo[replycount] out in the php file somehow. I'd welcome suggestions on how to accomplish this as well.


To be abundantly clear of my intentions:

I want to create a function that outputs the number of responses to a given thread in a forum. I plan to have this appear in a line of text "(x comments)" and then include() the output of this php file in larger html/php file (which contains the news story pictures etc.)



Again, thank you for the help.
