Hi, I need to include the following code contained in a file (I don't even know if the code itself is correct) in the template, what is the correct php code to insert in the template?

<?php
require("./forums/global.php");
$fid = "29"; // The id of the forum to pull posts from goes here

$query = $db->query("SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."threads WHERE fid='$fid' ORDER BY `tid` DESC LIMIT 0,10");
while ($item = $db->fetch_array($query)) {
if (strlen($item['subject']) > 33) { $subject = substr($item['subject'], 0, 32)."..."; } else { $subject = $item['subject']; }
$tid = $item['tid'];
$subject = stripslashes($subject);

$data = $item["dateline"];
$data = mydate("d/m", $data);

echo "<style type=\"text/css\">

</style>
<body STYLE=\"background-color:transparent\"><table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">
<tr>
<td><div align=\"left\">
<span class=\"style1\">$data</span> <a href=\"http://www.unprogged.com/showthread.php?tid=$tid\" target=\"_parent\" class=\"style3\">$subject</a></li>
</li>
</div></td>
</tr>
</table></body>";
}
?>

Thank you

You can't inlcude PHP in a template. You would either need to add that as a PHP file page or module.

I've created the module (the .php file linked to it contains the code I posted previously), but it doesn't work, showing some error. Is there a guide anywhere to create a working .php file for a module?

thank you

Knowing what the error is that it's showing might be helpful.

Remove this line from your code:
require("./forums/global.php");
