Want to put php code in sidebox

[bgroup99]

Hi,

I am trying to put a poll into tpl_blank_sidebox.php. The code is:

<?php

// #### poll.php ####



include("admincp/config.php");



$user_ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

$ipquery = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM fpoll_ips WHERE ip='$user_ip'");
$select_banned = mysql_num_rows($ipquery);

if($select_banned){

    //display results
    
    
    $poll = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("select * from fpoll_poll"));
    $question = $poll['question'];
    
    $countvotes = mysql_query("select votes from fpoll_options");
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($countvotes)) {
        $totalvotes += $row["votes"];
    }
            
    echo("<div class=poll>$question<br /><br />");
    
    $get_questions = mysql_query("select * from fpoll_options");
    while($r=mysql_fetch_array($get_questions)){
    
    
        extract($r);
        $per = $votes * 100 / $totalvotes;
        $per = floor($per);
        
        echo htmlspecialchars($field); 
        ?> <strong><? echo("$votes"); ?></strong><br />
        <div style="background-color: <? echo config(bg1); ?>;"><div style="color: <? echo config(text); ?>; font-size: <? echo config(size); ?>px; text-align: right;background-color: <? echo config(bg2); ?>; width: <? echo($per); ?>%;"><? echo("$per%"); ?></div></div>
        <?
            
    }
    
    echo("<br />Total votes: <strong>$totalvotes</strong></div>"); 
    
    
    
    
    
}else{





//if the submit button was pressed
if($_POST['submit']){
    
    //grab vars
    $vote = $_POST['vote'];
    $refer = $_POST['refer'];
    
        
    //update numbers
    $update_totalvotes = "UPDATE fpoll_poll SET totalvotes = totalvotes + 1";
    $insert = mysql_query($update_totalvotes);
    
    $update_votes = "UPDATE fpoll_options SET votes = votes + 1 WHERE id = $vote";
    $insert = mysql_query($update_votes);
            
    //add ip to stop multiple voting
    $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
    $addip = mysql_query("INSERT INTO fpoll_ips (ip)". "VALUES ('$ip')"); 

    
    //send the user back to thepage they were just viewing
    header("Location: $refer");
    
    
        
}    

    $uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
    
    //display the form!
    ?><div class="poll"><form action="/Fpoll/poll.php" method="post"><?
        
    $poll = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("select * from fpoll_poll"));
    $question = $poll['question'];
            
    echo("$question<br /><br />");
    
    
    $getcurrent = mysql_query("select * from fpoll_options ORDER by id");
    while($r=mysql_fetch_array($getcurrent)){
        
        extract($r);
        
        ?><input type="radio" name="vote" value="<? echo($id); ?>" class="radiobutton" /> <? echo($field); ?><br /><?
        
    }    
        
        
    ?>
    <input type="hidden" name="refer" value="<? echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" />
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /> 
    </form></div>
    <?    
    
    
    
}

?>

However, when I past this into tpl_blank_sidebox.php:

  $content .= '</div>';

I get a parse error. Any suggestions? How do I put php in a sidebox correctly?

Thanks in advance for your help!
