Requiring the global.php file

[Lynne]

Sure, lots of users do (myself included) and it works just fine.

You are changing this line:

PHP Code:

chdir('/home/EXAMPLE/public_html/forum/') 


to this for your testing script, right?

PHP Code:

chdir('/home/EXAMPLE/public_html/testing/')

Here is the exact contents of the file:

PHP Code:

<?
$dir = getcwd();
chdir('/home/***/public_html/forum/');
require_once('./global.php');
chdir($dir);

echo $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'];
?>

The output is 0.

But if the EXACT SAME code is in a file inside the forum directory, the output is 1 (my userid).

Did you say you're getting to it through a different domain? Maybe the problem is that the cookies aren't being sent so in effect you're logged out.

I bet you're right.

What kind of function could I call to see if it's actually working?
