Adding a function to a vbulletin page?

[kpf1827]

I am trying to add a php function to my template... I made a script in PHP and put it in a file called "script.php" on my server.

Now Here is the problem, how can I call this function on the page, so I can use it? How does vbulletin currently call other functions? BTW this function will be used within the navbar. I cant use a HTML script because it will only work after the page fully loads up. What are your suggestions. Thanks!

How does vbulletin make all their php functions work? How do hackers get all their php functions to work?

I tried what was posted above, but it is like copying and pasting everything in script.php into a html template. I dont get how vbulletin files are php, and yet their working on html templates?

All the pages in vb are php pages. Just because the templates require you to use valid html in them does not mean they are not part of a php page. (You can have html in the middle of a php page also.)

I have a php script located in script.php

And I put this in my navbar template...

<?php

include "script.php";

?>

<?php

echo myfunction(blah blah,15)

?>

It is not working. It is obviously wrong, but I dont know how to fix it.

You can't put that in your template - you may only put valid html in your template.

Did you read the link that Seven Skins posted - the part about including a php file?

Yea, but when I put $includedphp in my template, it was just like I went into my script.php file and copied everything in it and pasted it into the template.

This is what I have in my template as of now:

<?php
include "$includedphp";

?>

It simply says "Place $includedphp in one of your templates". So, just put:

$includedphp
