Hey guys, I'm having a bit of problems with a Block I'm trying to make, ok heres it goes. I have code that I want into a block but the content goes outside of the block, this code below fetches an XML file to get the info it needs, Code is PHP. Any help would be greatly appreciated. For Live Proof visit [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] and scroll to the bottom should see the Block with the content outside. Thanks again

[code]<?php
if (eregi("block-TLA.php",$PHP_SELF)) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}
?>
<!-- Begin: TLA CODE -->

<?php

function tla_ads() {

// Number of seconds before connection to XML times out
// (This can be left the way it is)
$CONNECTION_TIMEOUT = 10;

// Local file to store XML
// This file MUST be writable by web server
// You should create a blank file and CHMOD it to 666
$LOCAL_XML_FILENAME = "local_150840.xml";

if( !file_exists($LOCAL_XML_FILENAME) ) die("Text Link Ads script error: $LOCAL_XML_FILENAME does not exist. Please create a blank file named $LOCAL_XML_FILENAME.");

Block content has to be stored in a variable called $content. You may consider recoding those functions to return a string instead of echoing out stuff. Then your last line should look like this:

$content = tla_ads();

No, I would recode the functions to build up a string instead of echoing. Then assign the string to $content at the very end.

Or you might be able to use an iframe to display an existing script.

Just ran across this thread while looking for something else and noticed this applies to TLA Ads. See: [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] in the center above the last forum posts center block. If needed after all this time I can supply the PHP for the TLA Ad center block. Only thing I would need is the XML filename as it's different for each installation.

Cheers
