Help with a code

Can someone help me with a block I am attempting to make? I am wanting it as a center block but everytime I activate it, it jacks my main page all up.

Here is what I have concocted Laughing

Code:

<?php

if (eregi("block-maxpreps.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://widgets.maxpreps.com/includes/js/widget/teams.js" >
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" >

</script>

?>

Unfortunately you can't just paste in HTML like that. There are a number of ways of doing it and if you do a search here you should find the answer.

Ok can you tell me where I went wrong with it this time?

Code:

<?php

if (eregi("block-maxpreps.php",$PHP_SELF)) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}

$content .= "<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"http://widgets.maxpreps.com/includes/js/widget/teams.js\" >";
$content .= "</script>";
$content .= "<script type=\"text/javascript\" >";
$content .= "";
$content .= "</script>";
$content .= "

?>

The last line needs to be

Code:

$content .= "";

thanks, now at least the box shows up but no content.

I would also either make your first $content just be

$content = "....

or, you should add a line above your first $content line to initialize $content to be empty:

$content = "";

Now, this has nothing to do with your block not having content. You might want to throw in a JavaScript alert function in there just to see if your block is working properly or a document.write

I would also view the page source in your browser to make sure the javascript is making it to the page.

Actually I would recode your block like this. It works perfectly for me Smile

Code:

<?php
if (eregi('block-maxpreps.php',$PHP_SELF)) {
Header('Location: index.php');
die();
}
$content = '';
$content .= '<script type="text/javascript" src="http://widgets.maxpreps.com/includes/js/widget/teams.js">';
$content .= '</script>';
$content .= '<script type="text/javascript">';
$content .= 'ShowTeamsWidget("29190e90-bccb-dd11-9246-001cc494dda6");';
$content .= '</script>';
?>
