Id like to use some variables from Ultimate.cgi in another cgi program I am using. Id like to use the Total Posts variable $AbsPosts and the newest member variable $LastReg
Any idea how I can use these?
I tried saying require "Ultimate.cgi"; but ofcourse that just included the whole Ultimate.cgi table in the layout.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks

i would think you would just include the files that store those variables.

Yeah I tried that, but when I included Ultimate.cgi and ran the script it actually included the whole ultimate.cgi output as if it was the main forum listing.

may be an idjit here, but how about writing those variables in ubb_library.pl and requiring that file in your other scripts...

That may work, but as an example who would I go about writting the total post count to ubb_library.pl? Just copy the sub, and call the variable from there?

Thanks Allen worked a treat!

that was good advice
