Shoutbox Help

[scyth...@outlook.com]

I am having trouble understanding some of the Shoutbox installation instructions. 

I understand the first part, but just to be sure, is it supposed to be like this? :

@import url("http://www.mtpclan.com/chat/css/shoutbox.css");

The second step is what I don't get: 

Shoutbox Function

Add the following function to your PHP code:

<?php
function getShoutBoxContent() {
// URL to the chat directory:
if(!defined('AJAX_CHAT_URL')) {
        define('AJAX_CHAT_URL', './chat/');
}

// Path to the chat directory:
if(!defined('AJAX_CHAT_PATH')) {
        define('AJAX_CHAT_PATH', realpath(dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']).'/chat').'/');
}

// Validate the path to the chat:
if(@is_file(AJAX_CHAT_PATH.'lib/classes.php')) {
        
        // Include Class libraries:
        require_once(AJAX_CHAT_PATH.'lib/classes.php');
        
        // Initialize the shoutbox:
        $ajaxChat = new CustomAJAXChatShoutBox();
        
        // Parse and return the shoutbox template content:
        return $ajaxChat->getShoutBoxContent();
}

return null;
}
?>

Where do I put this? When they say "to your PHP code", do they mean on my index.php or what?

And for the third part: 

Shoutbox Output

Display the shoutbox content using the shoutbox function:

<div style="width:200px;"><?php echo getShoutBoxContent(); ?></div>

This just gets put wherever I want the shoutbox to be displayed right?

So your css is wrong should be something like this:

@import url("../../chat/css/shoutbox.css");

For the shoutbox function you can do this one of 2 ways first put the code inside of the page you want to display the shoutbox on or they way I recommend put the code in a separate file then call it from the shoutbox page:

include('inc/shoutbox.php');

 if you want to display the shoutbox on all of the web pages just add the include('inc/shoutbox.php'); to your footer and then add the shoutbox div to the footer as well.

Does 

@import url("http://example.org/path/to/chat/css/shoutbox.css");

go on my main stylesheet for my website or on the actual page where I want it to be loaded?

It goes in your main stylesheet.
