Possible to convert widget to forum block?

[ArchAngelz]

Oh, I always thought PHP is the same whether in a widget or forum block; but I'm not a programmer so I don't really know.

Would you be able to help me change the following from a php execution widget to a php forum block; this is my immediate need right now...

PHP Code:

$posts = "Posts";
  ob_start();
  require_once('./includes/functions_user.php');
  require_once('./includes/functions_bigthree.php');
  // Current Week Top Posters
  $starttime = mktime(0, 0, 0, date('n'), date('j'), date('Y')) - ((date('N')-1)*3600*24);
  // Get Top Members for current week
  $mostactiveweek_get = vB::$db->query_read("
    SELECT ".TABLE_PREFIX."user.userid, ".TABLE_PREFIX."user.username, ".TABLE_PREFIX."user.usertitle,
     COUNT(".TABLE_PREFIX."post.postid) AS postcount
    FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."user
     LEFT JOIN ".TABLE_PREFIX."post
      ON ".TABLE_PREFIX."post.userid=".TABLE_PREFIX."user.userid
       AND dateline>'".$starttime."'
    WHERE usergroupid=2
   GROUP BY ".TABLE_PREFIX."user.userid
   ORDER BY postcount DESC
   LIMIT 5");
  $topposter = true;
  $output_bits = '';
  while($user = vB::$db->fetch_array($mostactiveweek_get))
  {
        $percentage = round(($user[postcount]/$totalposts[postcount]) * 100);
        if($topposter == true)
        {
           $avatarurl = fetch_avatar_url($user[userid]);
           if (!$avatarurl) {
               $useravatar = 'images/misc/avatar.png';
           } else  {
              $useravatar = $avatarurl[0];
           }
           $output_bits .='<div align="center">
                           <img border="0" src="'.$useravatar.'"><br />
                           <a target="_blank" href="member.php?u='.$user[userid].'">'.$user[username].'</a><br />
                           '.$user[usertitle].'<br />
                           '.$posts.':&nbsp;'.$user[postcount].'<br />
                           </div><hr />';
           $topposter = false;
        } else {
           $output_bits .= '<a target="_blank" href="member.php?u='.$user[userid].'">'.$user[username].'</a><div style="float: right;">'.$user[postcount].'</div><br />';
        }
  }
