How to include these php calls as a snippet

I`ve never attempted to write my own snippet becuase I`m not very good with php, so I`m hoping you can help me. I`m trying to integrate "shopwindow client" into modx. Shopwindow client is a php driven shopping cart/affiliate website package and it does allow for integration.

So my question is how do I turn this php include/call

<?php
require_one('sw/gloval.inc.php');

$oFeaturedMerchantsParams->iCategoryId=4;
$oFeaturedMerchantsParams->iLimit=2;
include ('sw/includes/elements/featured_mechants.php');
?>

Into a snippet? would it be possible to have a snippet call where I could pass multiple inclueds and multiple $oFeaturedMerchantsParams?

I know you chaps are all very busy so any help would be wicked!.

cheers

Well I suppose that is a start, I was hoping for something more but I have to stop getting lazy.

Hi guys!

My Question is related to this here so I post it here:
I want to display this content: http://heartandtruelove.com/vimeo.php?id=123456

So i created the php into a snippet:

<?php
$imgid = $_GET['id'] . $id;
$hash = unserialize(file_get_contents("http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/$imgid.php"));
echo $hash[0]['thumbnail_medium'];
?>

and i can load the snippet like this:
[[!vimeo_thumb? &id=`123456`]]

BUT, here comes the problem, I don't get the same thumbnail link like here:
http://heartandtruelove.com/vimeo.php?id=123456

My guess was, that I am doing something wrong in the php code, what could it be?
thanks for fast response! =)
