*edit* ehhh...for some reason if it loads once, i get the errors...If i load it a 2nd time, it works fine...


I am using a script from smartor.is-root.com to link my phpBB forum and display certain news articles on another page. This works as long as the page is located in the forum folder, but I want it to link to my main page.

basically, I want the page to look like

http://www.dragonzbp.com/DragonzForum/index2.php

but it gives me errors if i try it outside the forum directory.

here is what i get

www.dragonzbp.com

I don't know how to fix the erroirs and its really bugging me :/

here is the code:

I kinda suck with PHP, but I managed to get this script working on another site, I just can't remember how

Any help would be appreciated
