Simple SVN WordPress Widget

After getting bored on working on my final year project I decided to take a look at creating widgets word my blog. There are SVN hooks on my repositories that store the commit details in a SQL database. I thought I would create a widget that would pull out the last message and display it.

/*
Plugin Name: LastCommit
Plugin URI: http://blog.yeticode.co.uk/
Description: Gets Last Commit Message
Author: John Tindell
Version: 1
Author URI: http://blog.yeticode.co.uk/
*/
function lastCommit_widget() {

	$server = 'localhost';
	$link = mssql_connect($server, 'username', '************');
	echo ' 
';
	echo " 
Last Commit
";
	if($link)
	{
		mssql_select_db('svnyeti', $link);
		$query = mssql_query('select top 1 * from SVNLog order by liLogEntryPk desc', $link);
		$row = mssql_fetch_array($query);
		print ' 
' . $row['lszLogEntry'] . '
';
	}
	echo ' 
';
}
function init_lastCommit(){
	register_sidebar_widget("LastCommit", "lastCommit_widget");
}
add_action("plugins_loaded", "init_lastCommit");

When I get more time I will develop this a bit more.
