Can i use inc_featueres.php to pull up recent photos on a regular .php page ?

[Chuck S]

You would include it much the same way as vb

include the file and print the contents by echoing this

echo "$photopostfeature";

where you want it to display

i am getting errors

Warning: mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/xxx/public_html/gallery/inc_features.php on line 54

Warning: mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/xxx/public_html/gallery/inc_features.php on line 119

i already checked the... photopost prefix and its set to pp_

[Chuck S]

Right but that would mean whatever page your running this on is not in the same database as photopost I assume here,

So just like the instructions for vbulletin state when using with vbulletin in a separate database you would need to uncomment and fill out the proper variables in the $link and mysql_select_db lines for it to work.

[s2kinteg916]

ive uncommented both lines

$link = mysql_connect ("localhost", "$dbuserid", "$dbuserpassword") or die('I cannot connect to the database.');
mysql_select_db ("pp_database")or die("Could not select photopost database");

do i need to set this to something ?

pp_database

i have photopost and the vb in the same database with pp_ as the prefix for photopost

[Chuck S]

yes you need to fill in database names and on the link line host username and password to the photopost database

[s2kinteg916]

what do i put here ?

pp_database ?

[Chuck S]

Read post 6

[s2kinteg916]

i have modified this info for my settings

$link = mysql_connect ("localhost", "$dbuserid", "$dbuserpassword") or die('I cannot connect to the database.');

and im getting this

Could not select photopost database

[Chuck S]

If you modified that line with the correct database info and the mysql_select_db to input your database name then it will connect.

The error your posting says something is not set right cause it can not establish a connection

[s2kinteg916]

i did not modify this line

mysql_select_db ("pp_database")or die("Could not select photopost database");

i asked you what info do i put in for pp_database
in post #7 and you referenced me to

inc_features.php help

which does not tell me to change pp_database

[Chuck S]

In post 5 you asked and in post 6 I responded accordingly

inc_features.php help

[s2kinteg916]

do i need to set this to something ?

pp_database

i have photopost and the vb in the same database with pp_ as the prefix for photopost

i already set db name and password which was provided by your instructions.

I am still loss as far as what variable i put in for pp_database

post 6-12 or whatever number it is does not answer what this setting is it only tells me to setup dbname and password which i inputted already.

inc_features.php help

The first thing I stated is to fill in your database name

[s2kinteg916]

so i change pp_database to the same database as where vbulleitn and photopost are installed in ?

[Chuck S]

You change the first select to your photopost database and the one at the bottom to your vbulletin database
