Lets Play Fix the 5.2 WHMCS Code

Code snippet from WHMCS broke when they nuked dbconnect.php, but replacing init.php does not fix things.. Any ideas? Also anyone know what to pull to get the actual news links?

include("/home/blargh/public_html/whmcs/init.php");
include("/home/blargh/public_html/whmcs/includes/functions.php");
$query = "SELECT * FROM tblannouncements WHERE published='on' ORDER BY date DESC LIMIT 0,3";
$result = mysql_query($query);
while ($data = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$id = $data["id"];
$date = $data["date"];
$title = $data["title"];
$announcement = $data["announcement"];
$url = $data["url"];
$date = fromMySQLDate($date);
echo '<p><font color="#cccccc">'.$date.'</font> - <b>'.$title.'</b><br />';
echo '<ul class="features"> <h5>'.$date.'</h5><li>'.$title.'</li></ul>'
;
