Including Pearl in PHP

1 
<body>
<center>
<?php
  include("./board/portal.pl");
?>
</center>
</body>

Now, this works fine which means no error shows up, only probelm it’s not reading it the right way!

  1. i’m trying to include the “latest threads” (it already has it’s own page) from the forum on the front page, thats why i wanna do that. (just to give u an idea)

  2. It doesn’t show up the way it does in the forum-page! also it doesn’t read the themes either.

wat is going i don’t know.

if anyone can tell me what to do i’ll be highly grateful!
