Are you using the same database or a different one?

Oh btw bro. I don't really code anything for anyone unless you plan on paying me for my time spent. I would rather teach you something that you can possibly teach someone else or use in the future.

Its honestly not that hard in concept. If you can figure out how to change the table names to match the new tables in your phpbb3 database you should be ok with my instructions.

Here is an example

Find

Code:

".$prefix."_users

Change To

Code:

mybbtable_users

Ok lets get started. Yeah all excited I know. Keep in mind I have not looked at this code once ever Angel

Just gonna wing it.

Find

Code:

global $db, $prefix

Something like the above

Change to

Code:

$server = 'localhost';
$username = 'db_uname';
$password = 'password';
$database = 'db_name';
$link = mysql_connect($server,$username,$password);
mysql_select_db($database);

This is kinda tricky so try to stay with me. Nuke uses the string value $db to connect to the database.

So for every instance of

Code:

$db->sql_query

You need to replace with the mysql equivalent

Code:

mysql_query

And so on

Another example

Code:

$db->sql_numrows

Replace with mysql equivalent

Code:

mysql_num_rows

Then after all is said and done at the bottom of the file close to ?> you need to close the db connection

Code:

mysql_close($link);

Lets review the steps
1.Close to the top of the file replace globals with the new connect string to the phpbb3 database
2.Find the old table names (".$prefix."_bbtopics <--or whatever they may be) and replace with the new table names from the phpbb3 database.
3.Replace $db->sql_query with the equvalent mysql_query and so on
4. Close out the database.

In theory thats the steps. Lets see how far you can get without my help.

I have yet to poke around any phpbb3 infrastructure, but in theory that should work.

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php

At the very bottom are all the mysql functions you will ever need to know lol. I hope that is helpful.

Here is a better connect script taken from that page. It has some debugging built in to help you.

Code:

// Connecting, selecting database
$link = mysql_connect('mysql_host', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password')
or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_select_db('my_database') or die('Could not select database');

no you don't include the name of the database. Just the table name.

Lose it. $prefix is a nuke global. If you look in config.php you will see that

Code:

$prefix = 'nuke';

They did this so that if you wanted your tables to be named something else. If you look at your nuke database you will see that all tables are prefixed so to speak with nuke_whatever.

nuke being the prefix.

So your outcome should render something like

Code:

"SELECT * FROM phpbb3_whatever
