This is fine I guess, although, this code is printed as is on the site. Adding <?php and ?> doesn't help either.

When you say you're developing a front page, what are you doing exactly? Are you making a template? If so then yeah, you can't put php code in a template. The vbulletin way to do it is to write code in a plugin (or create your own page by writing a php file), then use templates to produce the output.
