This sounds like a fabulous idea! There are plenty of "DEAD" modules in the repository. It would be nice to see some or most of them useable again. I could probably do some debugging, I seem to be pretty good at that. Also, IMHO we need to keep compatibility with PHP4 for at least 1 more year. As most web hosts have just started upgrading their servers in the last few months. I know that my host (iPowerWeb), will still be upgrading accounts to PHP5 in August. However, come 2009 we should all kiss PHP4 goodbye for good!

Try:

<?php

include( '../../mainfile.php' ) ;

function writehistory($uid, $toid, $action, $comment)
global $xoopsDB;
{
//schreibt einen historyeintrag

//$historytable = $db->prefix("history");
//die ($historytable);
$historytable = "xoops_history";
$xoopsDB->query("INSERT INTO $historytable (uid, date, action, comment, toid) VALUES ($uid, NOW(), $action, '$comment', $toid)");
}
?>

Sometimes it helps to include the file before you call for a function in it...
