Any ideas why its failing?

I know 100% why it's failing. When you use a php block or php article, you can't use the

Code Select Expand


<?


at the beginng and the

Code Select Expand


?>


at the end.

I did that. sorry cut the code from the wrong screen.

[JPDeni]

Then post the code you're using and I'll see if I can figure it out.

Personally, I find it easier to debug code that is pure php and doesn't have html mixed in, but I'll give it a try.

i actually got it, it was the way it was cutting and pasting now im in the midst of hacking code to match the proper directories. thanks for the look tho.
