would it be possible....

...to pull a single post outta the db and have it displayed (just the post message not the whole postbit) on a non vB page?

[filburt1]

Why not?

PHP Code:

$result = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT pagetext FROM post WHERE postid = ..."));
$pagetext = $result['pagetext'];

thanks filburt and i wouldn't have to include anyfiles would i?

[Xenon]

no, you just must have the db access

[sabret00the]

couldn't i just include the config.php to give it database access?

[Xenon]

nope, it's declared in global.php

[sabret00the]

thanks xenon and filburt :nervous:

[sabret00the]

sorry about this, but using

PHP Code:

$result = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT pagetext FROM post WHERE postid = 60912"));
$pagetext = $result['pagetext']; 


nothing comes up, i know it's gone into the database etc, but i dunno why it won't display the txt 0_o

[Xenon]

instead of:[code]mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT pagetext FROM post WHERE postid = 60912"));[/php]

use

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query_first("SELECT pagetext FROM post WHERE postid = 60912"));

i tried that and it gives me a parse error on that line

so then i tried defining $DB_site as

PHP Code:

$DB_site=mysql_connect($servername,$dbusername,$dbpassword); 


and i get the same parse error

any ideas?
