Ive made a hack, need help intergrating it with vBulletin

[Jaynesh]

Hello

Ive made a little chat just for practise and now i want to integrate it with vbulletin also just for practice..

Any tutorials out there to help me do this?

heres my code
<?php

$username="?";
$password="?";
$database="?";

$message=$_POST['message'];

mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die('Unable to connect');

$query = "INSERT INTO chat VALUES ('$message')";

mysql_query($query);

$query2="SELECT * FROM chat";
$result=mysql_query($query2);

$num=mysql_numrows($result);

mysql_close();

echo "<b><center>Chat history</center></b><br><br>";

$i=0;
while ($i < $num) {

$message=mysql_result($result,$i,"message");

echo "<b>Message: $message</b><br />";

$i++;
}

?>

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="[removed by me]">
<label></label>
<div align="center">
<label>
<input name="message" type="text" id="message" size="100" />
</label>
<label></label>
<label>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
</label>
</div>
</form>


okay ive figured it out now and i have intergrated it with the style.
its a little chatroom/shoutbox but when i submit a message it does not submit
ive made all the tables and have double checked everything...
ive also checked the form.

here is the code


<?php

// ######################## SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// ##################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
// change the line below to the actual filename without ".php" extention.
// the reason for using actual filename without extention as a value of this constant is to ensure uniqueness of the value throughout every PHP file of any given vBulletin installation.

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'chat');

// #################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array();

// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array();

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array(
// change the lines below to the list of actual templates used in the script
'mychat',
);

// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array();

// ########################## REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');

// #################### HARD CODE JAVASCRIPT PATHS ########################
$headinclude = str_replace('clientscript', $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/clientscript', $headinclude);

// ################################################## ######################
// ######################### START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
// ################################################## ######################

$navbits = array();
// change the line below to contain whatever you want to show in the navbar (title of your custom page)
$navbits[$parent] = 'Test Page';

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');

// change the line below to contain the name of the actual main output template used in your script
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('mychat') . '");');

$message=$_POST['message'];

$query = "INSERT INTO mychat VALUES ('$message')";

mysql_query($query);

$query2="SELECT * FROM mychat";
$result=mysql_query($query2);

$num=mysql_numrows($result);

echo "<b><center>Chat history</center></b><br><br>";

$i=0;
while ($i < $num) {

$message=mysql_result($result,$i,"message");

echo "<b>Message: $message</b><br />";

$i++;
}

?>
