showthread php question

[gengar003]

So, i've got my showthread.php file right?


Now, you'd think if i put something at the top of the page, it would execute upon loading of the page, right? well it doesn't... This is probably because of some inadequacy of mine, but I don't get what, so there you are. Anyway, I've got a simple code to check the user's Points (from lesane store hack) and I know it does indeed pull them from the DB and assign it to a variable, because is can make the points print @ the top of the page. I have this set to work ONLY in forum id #51.


However, when I try to put that into an "If" statement, and show the points ONLY if they've less than 1000, it ONLY works when, on the forum main page, I click the "goto newest" arrow thing by the time and poster....


Anywhere else, it does nothing. Any Ideas why?

PHP Code:


require('./global.php');
$userstuff = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT storep FROM user WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]");
$points=$userstuff[storep];
if ($points < 1000 && $forumid == 51){
echo $points;
}
