Registering Variables Help

[Xencored]

Hey all i have a php script for random ads

PHP Code:

<?php 
$fcontents = join ("", file ("http://www.myanimeisland.com/banner_ads.txt")); 
$s_con = split("~",$fcontents); 
$banner_no = rand(0,(count($s_con)-1)); 
echo $s_con[$banner_no]; 
?>

I uploaded with the Txt file checked the URL and it works great

i than added a plugin in vbulletin

PHP Code:

ob_start();
  include('/home/**********/public_html/banner.php');
  $bannerphp = ob_get_contents();
  ob_end_clean(); 


Run of the Hook Global_start

i than added

{vb:raw bannerphp}

in my template and it didnt show
i read the vb manual some more and found that in vb 4 you need to Registering Variables

PHP Code:

vB_Template::preRegister('FORUMHOME',array('includedphp ' => $includedphp)); 


Where would i but this ? ive tryed everywhere and it will not show my banners

Thanks alot

What template are you trying to use this in?

{vb:raw bannerphp}

And, uh.... you did see this in the code where the hook is called, right?

PHP Code:

// Deprecated as of release 4.0.2, replaced by global_bootstrap_init_start
($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('global_start')) ? eval($hook) : false;

8WR_media_details
ad_navbar_below

Well, if you want to test your originally posted code in the FORUMHOME template, the correct way to preregister the variable $bannerphp would be (where did $includedphp come from?):

PHP Code:

vB_Template::preRegister('FORUMHOME',array('bannerphp ' => $bannerphp));

i got that from the vBulletin Manual that was an example i did add that above before and it still dont show on my pages

[Lynne]

That code won't register the variable on any page except the forumhome page so that would be the only page it would show on assuming your other code is correct. (And you shouldn't include with a full path, you need to chdir to the directory and then include it.... and if you are in the directory, then you shouldn't have to chdir anyway.)
