FIX FOUND!!
I have been revamping my site to work with samPHPweb and phpBB along with all my own pages. things had been working great until I hit this exact same problem. When I could include the phpBB code at the top of my page the top 10 and the playlist would no show on the page.

So after about 3 hours of trying different things, I decided to randomly try something and it worked. Not sure why but it works!

The fix -> change $db in all of your sam files to $db2

I am guessing this was having a conflict with certain files within phpBB and changing it eliminated that.

Hope this helps others.
