Displaying Announcements on any page

[Sliffer21]

I am hoping someone can help me, I want to display my announcements on a php page after seeing the script in the support topics. The script is:

 

<?php

include("support/dbconnect.php");

include("support/includes/functions.php");

$query = "SELECT * FROM tblannouncements WHERE published='on' ORDER BY date DESC LIMIT 0,3";

$result = mysql_query($query);

while ($data = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

$id = $data["id"];

$date = $data["date"];

$title = $data["title"];

$announcement = $data["announcement"];

$date = fromMySQLDate($date);

echo("<p><font color=#cccccc>$date</font> - <b>$title</b><br>$announcement</p>");

}

?>

 

 

 

but when I edit "support" and change it to whmcs I get an error

Check with your server admin/hosting provider that the path you're entering is valid.

What's the exact error you get as that will probably provide a clue.

And I host my own servers so thats the correct path

It keeps trying to open the files in the directory that the page is in /staff it needs to be looking in /whmcs
