i need help with my form-to-topic processing

hypnodesign

Hi,

the thing I want to achieve is simple to explain - I have form and when visitor submits form my form processor (some php file) should create a new topic in specified phpBB forum. I though I can use simple sintax to do that like calling posting.php with some extra arguments for example like calling this URL:

http://mysite.com/myphpBBforum/posting.php?mode=newtopic&f=10&subject="automatic post"&message=$generatedstring&username="some fixed username"

forum_id (f) is fixed (f.e. 10), subject is also fixed and username too. I though i could only generate $message string and call header location with the URL above but it can't be done that way

can somebody help me? I looked the source of posting.php and I thougt maybe to cut-the-code of that file and integrate him as my form processor but i cant do it without some external help can somebody help me? i tried to find some solution for form-to-topic processor but that didn't help.

thanks in advance!!!
Mike

rip the insert code that posting.php uses (will prolly require looking in /include) and use that in your file...

all this requires is providing legit information when inserting into the phpBB tables.... not hard to write the SQL yourself in a worst case scenario...
