Could someone plz rip this code apart for me, i've tried expirmenting with it myself but kept coming up with errors.

its from a php mod called phpbb_fetch.

plz could someone rip the code into sections for me e.g.

Title - <?php for ($i = 0; $i < count($news); $i++) { ?> (dunno if it actually is)

So then i could jus copy and paste the codes into my site news layout then paste it into portal.php to i can use it on my index page using ssi.

<!-- NEWS -->
<?php for ($i = 0; $i < count($news); $i++) { ?>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" border="0" class="forumline">
<tr>
<th class="thTop" height="28"><?php echo $news[$i]['topic_title']; ?><?php if ($news[$i]['topic_trimmed']) { echo '...'; } ?></th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="row1" align="left" width="100%">
<span class="gensmall">
Posted by
<a href="<?php echo append_sid($phpbb_root_path . 'profile.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=' . $news[$i]['user_id']); ?>">
<?php echo $news[$i]['username']; ?>
</a>
on <?php echo $news[$i]['date']; ?> at <?php echo $news[$i]['time']; ?>
</span>
<span class="gen">
<hr size="1"/>
<?php echo $news[$i]['post_text']; ?><?php if ($news[$i]['trimmed']) { echo '...'; } ?>
</span>
<hr size="1"/>
<span class="gensmall">
<div align="right"><font color="#333333" face="Verdana" size="1">(<?php echo $news[$i]['topic_replies']; ?>)
<a href="<?php echo append_sid($phpbb_root_path . 'viewtopic.php?t=' . $news[$i]['topic_id']); ?>">
Comment<?php if ($news[$i]['topic_replies'] != 1) { echo 's'; } ?></a></font></div>
</span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

<p />
<?php } ?>

I have used phpBB fetch all before, what errors are you getting?

[zeo]

not really errors with phpbb fetch itself, but trying to change the layout of the news template bit, but whenever paste my own layout into it and then move the bits over e.g. code that i think is the title and save it to see if it works i get an error saying error on line 266 etc...

what i'm really trying to do is replace the template for

<!-- NEWS -->
<?php for ($i = 0; $i < count($news); $i++) { ?>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" border="0" class="forumline">
<tr>
<th class="thTop" height="28"><?php echo $news[$i]['topic_title']; ?><?php if ($news[$i]['topic_trimmed']) { echo '...'; } ?></th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="row1" align="left" width="100%">
<span class="gensmall">
Posted by
<a href="<?php echo append_sid($phpbb_root_path . 'profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=' . $news[$i]['user_id']); ?>">
<?php echo $news[$i]['username']; ?>
</a>
on <?php echo $news[$i]['date']; ?> at <?php echo $news[$i]['time']; ?>
</span>
<span class="gen">
<hr size="1"/>
<?php echo $news[$i]['post_text']; ?><?php if ($news[$i]['trimmed']) { echo '...'; } ?>
</span>
<hr size="1"/>
<span class="gensmall">
<div align="right"><font color="#333333" face="Verdana" size="1">(<?php echo $news[$i]['topic_replies']; ?> )
<a href="<?php echo append_sid($phpbb_root_path . 'viewtopic.php?t=' . $news[$i]['topic_id']); ?>">
Comment<?php if ($news[$i]['topic_replies'] != 1) { echo 's'; } ?></a></font></div>
</span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

<p />
<?php } ?>

with my own template - keeping the codes so that they load up with my template.

I really jus need help with cutting the codes out of the fetch coding..

e.g. title would = <?php for ($i = 0; $i < count($news); $i++) { ?> etc, so if i were to paste it into my layout and save portal.php it would load up using my layout and the title in it. so it could b finally used in my index.html

Ok, I think I see what your saying now, but can you post the exact code that your using and what lines the errors are on.
