with
<script type='text/javascript'>!window.jQuery && document.write('<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>')</script>
You can always import tables etc.. using PHP and then use a code something like this to display the results:
<?php while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { ?>
<li>
<a href="/forums/index.php?showtopic=<?= $row["tid"] ?>" title="<?= $row["title"] ?>"><?= $row["title"] ?></a>
<?php
$indexed = $row["last_post"];
$realtime = strftime("%e %b", $indexed);
?>
<date>Last post by <?= $row["last_poster_name"] ?> at <?= $realtime ?></date>
</li>
<?php } ?>
