Insert PHP code in Style Manager

[zero477]

Hello all,

I divided the forum in two columns using the Style Manager.

http://www.hyperlinkbuilding.org/seoforum.php

In the right column (where you can see some adds now), I want to display some info related to the user. So I need to insert some PHP code there. When I do it, the PHP code is displayed like a comment.


Greetings,
Eddie

Hello all,

I read in the manual the following:

Using PHP Functions in Template Conditionals
As a security precaution, to prevent malicious damage to either your database or your server itself, most PHP functions are disallowed in template conditionals.

This, for example, would be disallowed by the vBulletin template system, as it contains a call to a 'forbidden' function: mysql_query.
<vb:if condition="$my_variable = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM mytable')">
<!-- naughty naughty... -->
</vb:if>
At the time of writing, the list of allowed 'safe' functions is as follows:


Therefore .... How can we use mysql_query function?? is there an alternative way??? I am trying to adapt vbulltin to an old website with many tables and info... I need to use that function..

Someone knows what to do??
