yah, you need to totally kill that one. it's totally screwed up.

just replace that portal_box_3.php with:

PHP Code

<?php
/* PHP CODE HERE */

/* BODY HERE */
$body = <<<EOF
EOF;

?>

there are too many errors in that puppy to even begin to try to debug. dunno what someone was trying to do there..

this code:
PHP Code

<?php

  // Open and select database

  $link = mysql_connect('server','username','password');
  if (!$link)
	{
	die('Cannot connect to server: '.mysql_error());
	}
  $db = mysql_select_db('database',$link);
  if (!$db)
	{
	 die('Cannot select database: '. mysql_error());
	}

  // Find out post id's

	  $query = "SELECT * FROM ubbt_TOPICS ORDER BY TOPIC_VIEWS DESC";
	  $result = mysql_query($query);
	  if (!$result)
		{
		die('Cannot read from database: '.mysql_error());
		}

  // Build table

	  for ($i=0; $i <$num_results; $i++)
		{
		$rowid = mysql_fetch_array($result);
		$postid=$rowid['POST_ID'];
		$queryposting = "SELECT * FROM ubbt_POSTS where TOPIC_SUBJECT=".$topicsubject."";
		$resultposting = mysql_query($queryposting);
		if (!$result)
		  {
		  die('Cannot read from database: '.mysql_error());
		  }
	  echo '<div style="float:right">'.$topicviews.'</div>';
	  echo '<div style="float:right">'.$topicsubject.'</div>';
	  }
?>
is destined to fail wink
