So, I've made some progress. I thought I was doing good, until I went to create an update form. Does vBulletin have some sort of special trickery regarding $_POST? I have a basic update form that posts back to itself. But no matter what I do, I cannot get the dang thing to do anything. When I hit submit, I just get a blank page. Getting frustrated here...
Here is my PHP:
<?php
// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'voting_booth');
define('CSRF_PROTECTION', false);
// change this depending on your filename
// ################### 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('tsgvotingbooth',
);
// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array();
require_once('./global.php');
/****************************************
Define usergroups. Will move to admincp eventually
****************************************/
$ug_voting_members=17;
/*****************************************
If the user is not logged in, kill it here
*****************************************/
//if(!isset($bbuserinfo['userid'])) {
// print_no_permission();
//}
/*****************************************
List Elections
*****************************************/
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='GET' && (!isset($_GET['do']) || $_GET['do'] == '')) {
}
/****************************************
Show registration form
****************************************/
else if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'GET' && $_GET['do'] == 'register') {
//print_r(get_defined_vars());
$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => 'Voting Booth Registration'));
$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);
$pagetitle = 'Voting Booth Registration';
$templater = vB_Template::create('tsgvb_register_form');
$templater->register_page_templates();
$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);
$templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle);
$templater->register('ug_voting_members', $ug_voting_members);
print_output($templater->render());
}
else if($_SREVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST' && $_POST['do'] == 'register') {
print_r($_POST);
}
?>
Here is my form template:
{vb:stylevar htmldoctype}
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="{vb:stylevar textdirection}" lang="{vb:stylevar languagecode}" id="vbulletin_html">

</li>
</ul>
</form>
</fieldset>
</div>
</div>
{vb:raw footer}
</body>
</html>
The form loads up and looks fine, and is prefilled with the user's data, if it is available (I realize that this code is not exactly right, but it's working for now). But when I hit submit, I get a blank page, even though I have coded for it in the PHP file.
Obviously I'm missing something important here.
Any advice is appreciated.

Edit - Wow. I looked at this code for 20 minutes and couldn't figure out my problem. Posted here and almost instantly realized that I wrote $_SREVER instead of $_SERVER......
I'm leaving it here as a learning experience for others.
