Code From PHP-Nuke HOWTO

Hello Code from the Nuke HOWTO from section 20.2.2 says

[php]
<?php
if (eregi("block-hits,php", $PHP_SELF)) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}
global $prefix, $dbi;
$result = sql_query("select count from "$prefix."_counter
order by type desc limit 0.1", $dbi);
list($count) = sql_fetch_row($result, $dbi);
$content. = $count
?>
[/php]

But when I put the code into PHPEclipse I get an error around the first occurence of $result. I think it is because there is double quotes within double quotes. I haven't been able to try it yet since my web host is down, but can someone tell me if this is an error, or if eclipse is mistaking it for an error?

Try

Code:

$result = sql_query("select count from " . $prefix . "_counter order by type desc limit 0.1", $dbi);

I added that and now I get an error on the last line $content. = $count; here is what I have. It seems it wants me to put == instead of =

[php]
if (eregi("ContactMe.php", $PHP_SELF)) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
global $prefix, $dbi;
$result = sql_query("select count from " . $prefix . "_counter order by type desc limit 0.1", $dbi);
list($count) = sql_fetch_row($result, $dbi);
$content. = $count;
}
[/php]

Not sure what this code is supposed to do exactly, but since $content is not populated anywhere else, you should just use

Code:

$content = $count;

So who made the how to? Should the info in the how to be changed?

I didn't make it. Chris did.

The HOWTO has a lot of old code. I'm just going to make a new Nuke guide from scratch Smile
