[RoutineX]

I've been doing some reading and apparently you can't use PHP directly in the templates. The php code works perfectly standalone, but wanted to integrate it in a vBulletin template. I've made a plugin in global_start with the php code I want to use, but wasn't sure what to do next (if that even was right). I also read some in the API documentation, but didn't manage to get any further with that.

What I want to do is basically just connect to a database, selecting everything from a table and displaying it in a table(html) and print row for row.

Below is the code of what I'm going to do (just edited the values).

Hope anyone can help

PHP Code:

require ('auth.php'); 

$res = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM TableName",$db); 
$test = 1;

if($rad = mysql_fetch_array($res)) 
{ 
    echo'
    <table width="642" border="0" cellspacing="0">
    <tr bordercolor="#CCFF33">
        <td width="XX"><strong>Topic 1</strong></div></td>
        <td width="XX"><strong>Topic 2</strong></div></td>
      </tr>
      ';
      do { 
         printf("<tr bordercolor=\"#CCFF33\">
                 <td background=\"XXX.jpg\">%s</td> 
                 <td background=\"XXX.jpg\">%s</td>         
                <td background=\"XXX.jpg\">%s</td>
                </tr>\n", 
                
                $test,
                $rad["Topic 1"], 
                $rad["Topic 2"]);
                $test++;                
             } 
             while ($rad = mysql_fetch_array($res)); 
              echo "</table>\n"; 
          } 
?>
