I've got some simple code to include the backend global.php but when i load the page i created i get the following errors:

PHP Code:

chdir('D:\hosting\005\Live\forums');
include('global.php');
chdir($currentdir); 


^^ this is the code, its been mentioned several times on this forum and i've just adjusted paths to suit.

any idea? :\

vbulletin 3.6.0 btw

SInce posting i have found the following:

PHP Code:

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
// Adding the above line will dismiss the error messages from the page, not such a great thing i know :D theres a problem somewhere! :x

$currentdir = getcwd();
chdir('D:\hosting\005\Live\forums');
include('global.php');
chdir($currentdir); 


but im still left with a

"Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: D:\hosting\005\Live\site\sessions.php
Line: 7"

Line 7 beginning with "<?"

Any help appreicated

:/

Ok after some browsing, found the problem.

i deleted all characters before the "<?" on line 7

this code works fine now :

PHP Code:

$currentdir = getcwd();
chdir('D:\hosting\005\Live\forums');
include('global.php');
chdir($currentdir);



if ($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == '6' ) 
    { 
    echo "This is only visible to people in usergroup 6";} 
    if ($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == '5' ) 
    { 
    echo "This is only visible to people in usergroup 5";} 
    if ($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == '4' ) 
    { 
    echo "This is only visible to people in usergroup 4";} 
    if ($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == '3' ) 
    { 
    echo "This is only visible to people in usergroup 3";} 
        if ($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == '2' ) 
    { 
    echo "This is only visible to people in usergroup 2";} 
        if ($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == '1' ) 
    { 
    echo "This is only visible to people in usergroup 1";}

If you are going to require global.php why not take advantage of the template system?
