[QUOTE][u]Quote by: machinari[/u][p]all that within one function that returns a variable rather than executing code directly...  something like this:[code]function phpblock_scrollNews(){
    $file1 = "./test/HNT/colors.txt";
    $lines1 = file($file1);
    $retval = '';
    foreach ($lines1 as $line_num1 => $line1)

        if(($spos != null) && ($spos > 0))
        {
            $spos2 = strpos($line1,'"',($spos+18));
            $str = substr($line1,18,($spos2-($spos+17)));

[/code]
so put that function into lib-custom.php and create a new [b]php block[/b] from your admin > blocks > new block editor...
name that block "phpblock_scrollnews" making sure not to use parentheses.

whether or not this function works, I don't know...  I only put it into a variable for you and made a few minor changes to syntax.

hope all goes well[/p][/QUOTE]
