Hi i need a simple solution to create a working phpnuke block since ive tried googling for solutions and following guids but it does seem to work

here is the code i wish to work in a block

<?php
/*
This script displays the events from today
this script is a modified version of list.php from Nick77. Thanks for the original!
ask hamlet in the forum at http://ikemcg.com/scripts/forum/ if there are any questions
*/

require("config.php");
require("lang/lang." . LANGUAGE_CODE . ".php");

$id = $HTTP_GET_VARS['id'];

mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASS) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db(DB_NAME) or die(mysql_error());

$sql = "SELECT id, y, m, d, title, text, TIME_FORMAT(start_time, '%k:%i') AS stime, ";
$sql .= "TIME_FORMAT(end_time, '%k:%i') AS etime, " . DB_TABLE_PREFIX . "users.uid, fname, lname ";
$sql .= "FROM " . DB_TABLE_PREFIX . "mssgs ";
$sql .= "LEFT JOIN " . DB_TABLE_PREFIX . "users ";
$sql .= "ON (" . DB_TABLE_PREFIX . "mssgs.uid = " . DB_TABLE_PREFIX . "users.uid) ";
$sql .= "WHERE text IS NOT NULL AND (y*10000+m*100+d) = ";
$sql .= "(YEAR(NOW())*10000+MONTH(NOW())*100+DAYOFMONTH(NOW())) ";
$sql .= "ORDER BY y, m, d, start_time";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());


echo "
   <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
   <html>
   <head>
            <title>Your Title goes here</title>
            <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/default.css">
   </head>
   <body>
   ";

$day = date("j");
$month = date("n");
$year = date("Y") ;

$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);

if ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

do {

   $wday =  date ("w", mktime(0,0,0,$myrow['m'],$myrow['d'],$myrow['y']));
   $title = stripslashes($myrow["title"]);
   $body = stripslashes(str_replace("n", "<br />", $myrow["text"]));

   if ($myrow["stime"] == "55:55") {
      $timestr = "";
   }
   elseif ($myrow["stime"] == $myrow["etime"]) {
      $timestr = $myrow["stime"] . " o'clock";
   } else {
      $timestr = $myrow["stime"] . "-" . $myrow["etime"] . " o'clock";
   }

echo "
   <span class="">
   event: $title<br>
   time: $timestr<br>
   details: $body
   </span>
   <hr width="200px" align="left">
   ";

  } while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result));

} else {

   echo "Sorry, there are no events today!";

}
?>

for starters! blocks use

$content = "line 1";
$content  .= "line2";


Instead of
echo "line1";

Not sure where you snagged that code at. It would take some minutes to convert it for nuke.

i replaced all the echo's with content = and then content .= from then on,

and inserted the needed block header

<?php
if (eregi("block-events2.php", $PHP_SELF)) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}


require("config.php");
require("lang/lang." . LANGUAGE_CODE . ".php");

$id = $HTTP_GET_VARS['id'];

mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASS) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db(DB_NAME) or die(mysql_error());

$sql = "SELECT id, y, m, d, title, text, TIME_FORMAT(start_time, '%k:%i') AS stime, ";
$sql .= "TIME_FORMAT(end_time, '%k:%i') AS etime, " . DB_TABLE_PREFIX . "users.uid, fname, lname ";
$sql .= "FROM " . DB_TABLE_PREFIX . "mssgs ";
$sql .= "LEFT JOIN " . DB_TABLE_PREFIX . "users ";
$sql .= "ON (" . DB_TABLE_PREFIX . "mssgs.uid = " . DB_TABLE_PREFIX . "users.uid) ";
$sql .= "WHERE text IS NOT NULL AND (y*10000+m*100+d) = ";
$sql .= "(YEAR(NOW())*10000+MONTH(NOW())*100+DAYOFMONTH(NOW())) ";
$sql .= "ORDER BY y, m, d, start_time";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());


$content = "]-09
   <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
   <html>
   <head>
            <title>Your Title goes here</title>
            <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/default.css">
   </head>
   <body>
   ";

$day = date("j");
$month = date("n");
$year = date("Y") ;

$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);

if ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

do {

   $wday =  date ("w", mktime(0,0,0,$myrow['m'],$myrow['d'],$myrow['y']));
   $title = stripslashes($myrow["title"]);
   $body = stripslashes(str_replace("n", "<br />", $myrow["text"]));

   if ($myrow["stime"] == "55:55") {
      $timestr = "";
   }
   elseif ($myrow["stime"] == $myrow["etime"]) {
      $timestr = $myrow["stime"] . " o'clock";
   } else {
      $timestr = $myrow["stime"] . "-" . $myrow["etime"] . " o'clock";
   }

$content .= "
   <span class="">
   event: $title<br>
   time: $timestr<br>
   details: $body
   </span>
   <hr width="200px" align="left">
   ";

  } while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result));

} else {

   $content .= "Sorry, there are no events today!";

}


?>

What exactly is this a part of? It doesn't consist with any module or nuke database tables.

I really need to know what it is you want to accomplish.

well basicaly its for a calendar module (not made by myself) and this code outputs what events have been inputed on the calendar for that day. So it shows on the home page as a quick summary of the days events. If the user wanted more info then obv they would go into the actual calendar module page.

Yeah, I had the same issue. So I kinda custo'd my block for my calendar module.
You need to find a nuke calendar module. Then design the block around your site's spefications.

Lets start there.

I took a few minutes and cleaned up your code for nuke. Try this and let me know if it works.

good luck! icon_smile.gif

<?php

if (eregi("block-events2.php", $PHP_SELF)) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}

//require("config.php");
//require("lang/lang." . LANGUAGE_CODE . ".php");

//$id = $HTTP_GET_VARS['id'];
global $db;

$sql = "SELECT id, y, m, d, title, text, TIME_FORMAT(start_time, '%k:%i') AS stime, ";
$sql .= "TIME_FORMAT(end_time, '%k:%i') AS etime, " . DB_TABLE_PREFIX . "users.uid, fname, lname ";
$sql .= "FROM " . DB_TABLE_PREFIX . "mssgs ";
$sql .= "LEFT JOIN " . DB_TABLE_PREFIX . "users ";
$sql .= "ON (" . DB_TABLE_PREFIX . "mssgs.uid = " . DB_TABLE_PREFIX . "users.uid) ";
$sql .= "WHERE text <> '' AND ((y*10000)+(m*100+d)) = ";
$sql .= "(YEAR(NOW())*10000+MONTH(NOW())*100+DAYOFMONTH(NOW())) ";
$sql .= "ORDER BY y, m, d, start_time";
$result = $db->sql_query($sql);

$day = date("j");
$month = date("n");
$year = date("Y");

$num_rows = $db->sql_numrows($result);
If ($num_rows > 0){
For ($x=0;$x<$num_rows;$x++){
   $myrow = $db->sql_fetchrow($result);
   $wday = date ("w", mktime(0,0,0,$myrow['m'],$myrow['d'],$myrow['y']));
    $title = stripslashes($myrow["title"]);
    $body = stripslashes(str_replace("n", "<br />", $myrow["text"]));

   if ($myrow["stime"] == "55:55") {
      $timestr = "";
     }
     elseif ($myrow["stime"] == $myrow["etime"]) {
       $timestr = $myrow["stime"] . " o'clock";
       } else {
         $timestr = $myrow["stime"] . "-" . $myrow["etime"] . " o'clock";
   }

   $content .= "<span class="">event: $title<br>
               time: $timestr<br>
            details: $body</span>
            <hr width="200px" align="left">";
}
} else {
  $content .= "Sorry, there are no events today!";
}
?>
