Little help with block please.

Hello,

Here is my situation. I have some code for a block to show the status of my ventrilo server.

Code:

<?


// ***** begin required code for nuke block


  


  // change the following variable to be the 32-character ID for your server.  


  $server_id="b14231b2dd3e7b50b6fa6e7af8fd11af";





  // do NOT edit the following line!  


  @readfile("http://osg.cc/voicestatus/remote_block.php?server=$server_id");





// ***** end required code for nuke block


?>

now I took that code and made a block-Ventrilo.php

Then I noticed I forgot to add in the

if (eregi("block-ventrilo.php", $PHP_SELF)) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}

So I put that in so my complete block-ventrilo.php is :

Code:

<?


if (eregi("block-ventrilo.php", $PHP_SELF)) {


    Header("Location: index.php");


    die();


}





// ***** begin required code for nuke block


  


  // change the following variable to be the 32-character ID for your server.  


  $server_id="b14231b2dd3e7b50b6fa6e7af8fd11af";





  // do NOT edit the following line!  


  @readfile("http://osg.cc/voicestatus/remote_block.php?server=$server_id");





// ***** end required code for nuke block


?>

Block is on left side bottom.
As you can see it's taking the server information but it's not placing the information into the "block" it keeps poping up above it. I'm sure this is probalby something simple to someone but it's been driving me insane the past two hours lol. I cant figure out what i need to do so that information loads in the right place.

Thanks for any suggestions.

All block code MUST be stored in the $content variable. Try changing your last line to

Code:

$content = @readfile("http://osg.cc/voicestatus/remote_block.php?server=$server_id");

I just saw that in one of your other posts. Gave it a try still getting the same thing except it now has 4 numbers in the the block.
My total code is

<?

if (eregi("block-Ventrilo-block.php", $PHP_SELF)) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}

// ***** begin required code for nuke block

// change the following variable to be the 32-character ID for your server.
$server_id="41befd9d1f48d530de729f9b126d1809";

// do NOT edit the following line!
$content = @readfile("http://osg.cc/voicestatus/remote_block.php?server=$server_id");

// ***** end required code for nuke block
?>

You cannot use readfile for this. Replace that line with this

Code:

$content = file_get_contents("http://osg.cc/voicestatus/remote_block.php?server=$server_id");
