Extracting dateline values on non-VB page?

[PinFX]

I'm publishing threads from the vB3 database directly to the front-page of my site, and I'd like to have it display the time of posting. I am aware that I need to use the vbdate() function to format it, but how do I access this function from a non-vb page?

Thanks in advance,

just include the global.php into that file, remember to set the path correctly

Hi deathemperor, thanks for the help. How do I set the path correctly? ><
I am including global.php from the base public_Html directory, and my vB is setup in /forums/

Hey guys, I found out that PHP's date() function parses UNIX timestamps fine...

include('./forums/global.php');
