Moving from Left to Right and PHP problem
Nathan Burke
Anonymous
Hi.
I'm trying to move a block from the left to the right, but I'm experiencing a weird problem. I have a block on the left that grabs links using PHP code, and it works perfectly.
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "*****", "*****");
mysql_select_db("geeklog", $db);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM gl_links ORDER BY title ASC", $db);
while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<a href='".$myrow["url"]."' target='_new'>".$myrow["title"]."</a><br>";
}
?>
But, when I make one simple change, moving from the left to the right, instead of having a nice little list of links, only the following displays:
So for some reason, just switching from right to left tells geeklog not to display the generated html but instead just display the code. Any idea where I could change this?
Thank You.

Text Formatted Code
<?php$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "*****", "*****");
mysql_select_db("geeklog", $db);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM gl_links ORDER BY title ASC", $db);
while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<a href='".$myrow["url"]."' target='_new'>".$myrow["title"]."</a><br>";
}
?>
But, when I make one simple change, moving from the left to the right, instead of having a nice little list of links, only the following displays:
Blogs I Read
".$myrow["title"]."
"; } ?>
".$myrow["title"]."
"; } ?>
So for some reason, just switching from right to left tells geeklog not to display the generated html but instead just display the code. Any idea where I could change this?

PHP code is not supported in normal blocks. It only happens to work because PHP is also allowed in header.thtml and the left blocks are included from header.thtml.
I'm actually surprised that this works when you add PHP code as the block's content and would consider it a bug.
Solution: Use a PHP block, that's what they're for.
