Hi guys. Im trying to make a block in my XOOPS website so it can show this php script:

http://vwar.charlieatsix.com/extra/nextactions.php

When i try to copy the php code into a block it wont show on the main page. I get an empty block.

This is the code of the block:

global $vwardb;
ob_start();
include("http://vwar.charlieatsix.com/extra/nextactions.php");
$output = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
$content = $output;
?>

Any help would be great on this. Thank you in advance.

You do not need to have in your php block

But you may not be able to include php files from another site (I don't know if it IS another site)

I think Ive found the problem.

What if i have several blocks of php scripting mixed with plain html i want to put into the website block?

This is the code:

-
$vwar_xroot= "absolute path";
$numnextactions= 3;
$showparticipants = 1;
$showirc = 1;
$include = 0;

if( !defined ("VWAR_COMMON_INCLUDED") )
{
$vwar_root = $vwar_xroot;
require_once ($vwar_root . "includes/functions_common.php");
}
if ( $include == 1 )
{
include_once ($vwar_root . "_header.php");
}
updateRepeatingDatelines("vwar".$n, "warid", "dateline", 1, $waroverlap);
?>







$dateline = (time() - ($waroverlap * 60)) + ($timezoneoffset * 3600);
if (!defined("VWAR_WARS_FROMNOW"))
{
define("VWAR_WARS_FROMNOW", 1);
$result = $vwardb->query_first("
SELECT COUNT(warid) AS numwars
FROM vwar".$n."
WHERE status = '0'
AND dateline > '$dateline'
" . getPublicMatchtypes(1)
);
$num_nextwars = $result['numwars'];
}
if ($num_nextwars > 0)
{
$result=$vwardb->query("
SELECT vwar".$n.".warid, vwar".$n.".gameid, vwar".$n.".gametypeid, vwar".$n.".matchtypeid, status, vwar".$n.".dateline,
oppnameshort, oppircnetwork, oppircchannel, playerperteam, vwar".$n.".oppid, matchtypename, gametypename,
gameicon,gamenameshort
FROM vwar".$n.", vwar".$n."_matchtype, vwar".$n."_gametype, vwar".$n."_opponents, vwar".$n."_games
WHERE vwar".$n.".oppid = vwar".$n."_opponents.oppid
AND vwar".$n.".gametypeid = vwar".$n."_gametype.gametypeid
AND vwar".$n."_matchtype.matchtypeid = vwar".$n.".matchtypeid
AND status = '0' AND vwar".$n.".dateline > '$dateline'
AND vwar".$n.".gameid = vwar".$n."_games.gameid
" . getPublicMatchtypes(1) . "
GROUP BY vwar".$n.".warid
ORDER BY dateline ASC
LIMIT 0, $numnextactions
");

while ($row = $vwardb->fetch_array($result))
{
dbSelect ($row);

if ($row['gameicon'] != "" && file_exists($vwar_root . "images/gameicons/".$row['gameicon']))
{
$gameicon = makeimgtag($urltovwar . "images/gameicons/".$row['gameicon'], $row['gamename']);
}
else
{
$gameicon = "";
}
?>







if ($showirc == 1 && !empty($row['oppircnetwork']) && !empty($row['oppircchannel']))
{
?>



}
if ($showparticipants == 1)
{
$result2 = $vwardb->query_first("
SELECT COUNT(partid) AS parts
FROM vwar".$n."_participants
WHERE available = '1'
AND warid = '" . $row['warid'] . "'
");
$parts = $result2['parts'];
?>



}
?>



}
$vwardb->free_result($result);
}
else
{
?>



}
?>

Anyways its funny because when i copy this text into the block source code and i choose HTML, when i preview it i can see the block working perfectly. When I sumbmit the source code to the DB i cant view the block in the main page as it should show.

which PHP debug errors are you getting?

Try this way,

without code into your custom block:

include("yourfile.php")

for some reason custom may not always support long php code due to the and it's depend on the php code.

Ok, problem solved :)

I tried the include("file.php"); without the and it worked.

Thank you very much for the help guys.

Anyways its strange how i could see the code perfectly with the preview code in HTML
