Miscellaneous Hacks - T-VBhoroscopes Addon -daily updated content

This is a quick vb-horoscopes feature to add to your forum.
I just made this and tested it on my forum, working fine as shown demo below

Requirements:
php fopen on
ADDED : IF fopen is not ON on your webserver , download the second zip file called gethoroscopes.php and replace the one in your cron folder with this one that uses Curl instead of fopen.
Installation :
-Upload the files to their respective locations
-Install the product using the VBulletin product manager
Your done !

You can test your script directly by going to your scheduled task
and using "RUN NOW" you should see the script output and then you
can go check your page at http://urforum/dailyhoroscopes.php


License :
- Your are allowed to query our website using the cronjob once everyday
Leave on default installation and you will not be breaking any rule, or only change the HOUR and MINUTE of runtime.
- You can freely modify the template the way you wish, all you need is
to leave the $result reference where you want it for the script to function
I will also appreciate if you share us with your modified template !

- You are required to keep the copyright text in your template, however if
you prefer to remove it, you can only do that after contacting me and recieving permission to do so ( free of charge ofcourse )

if you have a root access to your domain then u can edit it from php.ini
if you do not but still are allowed for custom php input in your htaccess
you could try adding :
php_value allow_url_fopen 1
(into your .htaccess file ) or try 'On' instead of '1'

if neither solutions worked, let me know, i can substitue the fopen usage with curl which could be as much good and should work too.

The PHP option allow_url_fopen would normally allow a programmer to open, include or otherwise use a remote file using a URL rather than a local file path. For security reasons, DreamHost has disabled this feature; however, a feature-rich alternative exists in the form of the bundled cURL library, and you can always get around the problem by compiling your own version of PHP.
