Parsing BBCode to HTML

[dolbex]

I am still having a really tough time with pulling this off in 3.6. I continue to get the error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function query_read_slave() on a non-object in /var/www/newspail3/forums/includes/class_bbcode.php on line 213

from outside the forum directory.

Figured this out.

I had these examples embedded within functions. I don't quite understand why they wouldn't work but I assigned $bbcode when I was inside my forum directory

PHP Code:

chdir(FORUM_DIRECTORY);
require_once(FORUM_DIRECTORY . 'global.php');
require_once(FORUM_DIRECTORY . 'includes/class_bbcode.php');
$bbcode =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());
chdir ($curdir); 


I then passed $bbcode into the function and that worked.
