You need to use the full path...the easiest way to do that is with WB_PATH constant.

Yeah my path is correct.

Well, I read some basic SSI FAQs and there's nothing said about arrays.
I inserted the code I posted above into a simple php file and uploaded it to my webspace. It runs fine! But if I use the same code with a page created by WebsiteBaker nothing happens (even with the code you've posted).

In this thread beeblebrox got the same thing working what I would like to do. It seems really simple (no words about arrays) but I can't get it working. :(

VCRulez:
Ok, I got it a step further. :)
I found this posting:

--- Quote ---Allways after creating an external database connection re-open the WB database connection otherwise WB doesn't know where to look for it's data, simple as that

Indeed the best way to do so is :
$database = new database();

use that at the end of your code!

This has nothing to do with chCounter,
wb starts building the page, it opens the database connection, code is executed, when in code another connection is made wb looses his.

--- End quote ---

So I added the following code to a code form:

--- Code: ---require("/users/soo/www/forum/SSI.php");
ssi_recentTopics();
$database = new database();

--- End code ---

The output is this:


So at least it is working now!
But two more questions:
1. Why does it put out "test116test119"? How can I get rid of this?
2. How can I modify the output so that it shows german umlauts ö,ä,ü?

ruebenwurzel:
Hello,

looks like the two databaseshave different charsets. (one seems to be UTF8 and the other ISO-8859-1) So you have to "convert" what you wanna have displayed.

VCRulez:
Thank you, finally all working like a charm here! :D
