just a quick question. what is the php include punbb.org uses to show 'recent posts' on the main page i dont think i can replicate the same effects on my site. i would like to add something like that to my main aswell. the reason is i tried reading over the instructions in extern.php and everything went well but when a topic is posted in it does not move it to the top of the list. am i doing something wrong?
This is what I use:
<%include(http://nupusi.com/forum/extern.php?action=active&show=10)%>is this going to bump the topics that have been recently posted on to the top of the list?
It does on my site, any time a post is made to a topic, it goes to the top.
Okay iv been using this method for the longest time untill my hosting provider decided to change the php.ini settings on me so that i cant use urls so i tried absolute paths and it didnt work because it thinks "extern.php?action=active&show=10" is the file name. Iv searched this on the forums here and im still puzzled. I think I have the same problem as Ludo does/did.
Feel free to move this topic to Trouble Shooting.
Anyone have a solution? hcgtv? ludo? richard? someone?

Change provider 
No, really, calling extern.php locally won't working because it needs the $_GET array which will not be available if not called via URL.
Thanks Tobi.
But... didnt ludo find a way around this? its weird I can include a script up with no parameters just fine via absolute paths... its the parameters that is screwing me over or maybe its just my host 
I don't know about Ludos solution.
You cannot include a local file with parameters.
Of course you can do something like this.
Rename all occurences of $_GET to $get or something in extern.php
2. Where you want to include extern.php, define an array like this:
$get = array('action'=>'active',
'show'=>'10');and after that include extern.php locally.
Might work.....
what is the html code I need to use to include extern.php as part of my homepage?
you have to use php includes not html but a part of the html you use for your homepage. just read the comments inside extern.php and it will explain it all.
example:
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<?php include('http://domain.com/forums/extern.php?action=active'); ?>
</body>
