Passing $vbulletin to custom pages

[obsidianreq]

Yeah... here's what I have.

global.php

ob_start();
include('./updateForm.php');
$dpo = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
require_once(CWD . '/includes/init.php');

In the template, I have

$dpo

instead of $HTML

And on updateForm.php

chdir("/my/site/addressy/www/vbulletin");
require_once('./global.php');

Do a var_dump of $vbulletin and it's null...

The template is membership_details and the actual page i membership_details.php
