Where are you trying these? you CANNOT use php in templates.

You'll have to create a new module (http://www.vbadvanced.com/membersarea.php?do=viewmanual&productid=4&pageid=5) (to work w/ vb CMPS) or wrap the php files in a header/footer like I've been working on here: www.myfamilycorner.net/chess (but if you go this route, you won't be using vb CMPS).

look here

but for part 1 where he say
1) Create a template for use in adv portal cmps with a single line: $output
As example i named a template called adv_portal_test:
$output

put this instead then you will have your layout

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">

<tr>
<td class="tcat">
<span class="smallfont">
<strong>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] $mods[title]<strong>
</span>
</td>
</tr>

<tr><td class="$getbgrow" width="100%">
$output
</td></tr>
</table>
