Yes, but I am so incredibly thick I could not make it work, I have bought a very fat book on php "PHP 5" by Julie Meloni and am wading through it in my spare time...
Just though I'd ask as my first attempt got nowhere adding functions to custom lib and calling them...

You would have to be more specific if you expect any help ...
Keep the naming convention in mind. There's also a function phpblock_showrights in your lib-custom.php that you could use to start playing with.

so I have this code.... I know it's not quite right
I have created a block phpblock_worldtimes
a function in lib-custom
and it does call the function cos I've had a few lines printed (incorrectly) I have this as the code for the info to be printed...
<?php
function display_time() {
global $_CONF;
$time_new = time() +18000;
$time_london = time() ;
$time_dharam = time() -19800;
$newname ="New York";
$lonname ="London";
$daram ="Dharamsala";
<? echo "$newname"; ?>
<? echo "$time_new"; ?>
<? echo "$lonname"; ?>
<? echo "$time_london"; ?>
<? echo "$daram"; ?>
<? echo "$time_dharam"; ?>
" ;
?>
and this as the lib custom code...
global $_CONF;
include_once($_CONF['path_html'] . "/time/time.php");
return display_time();
}

OK by stipping out all functions and doing a simple
This iss called by the code posted here in libcustom.php which in turn is called by the php block...
function display_time() {echo "this is line" .__LINE__ ;}
?>
I get it working but the text appears in the tiop left hand corner of the Frame how do I get this to display in it's block ????

Why make the call to another file which houses the code, just write it into your function in lib-custom.php ?
function phpblock_showtimes() {
$result = '';
$time_new = time() +18000;
$time_london = time() ;
$time_dharam = time() -19800;
$newname ='New York';
$lonname ='London';
$daram ='Dharamsala';
$result = $newname . ' - ' . $time_new . '<br>';
$result .= $lonname . ' - ' . $time_london . ' <br>';
$result .= $daram . ' - ' . $time_dharam . '<br>';
return $result;
}
Then, create a block with the call to phpblock_showtimes...
I tested that on my site and it worked fine, you`ll just need to play around with the PHP time() function to get the output of the time correctly formatted...
Hope that helps...
