For what page? For what template? We need information before we can give an answer.

Sorry I am new to all this. Page and Template?

I am not too happy with the inbuilt Related Threads feature.. so I am building my custom one.

My requirement is: To show related threads on Showthread template just above the footer.

In the plugin code I need Title of the current thread, so that it could match the other threads' titles in the database using my custom mysql query (in the plugin).

Well, you haven't mentioned with hook location you are going to use, but I would imagine the variable for the thread title would be something like $thread['title'] or $threadinfo['title']

Hook, as in Global_Start?

The plugin is just a workaround because vBulletin doesn't let add php to templates.

My problem can be solved if you could just tell me how to print thread title using php. Something like:

ob_start();

[echo thread title]

$includedphp = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

It is the plugin code. With Global_Start.

echo $threadinfo['title'];

Works!

Thanks a lot.
