Help With Creating A Thread Please
hello, im wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. im trying to create a page with a form. Once the user clicks the submit button on the form I want it to create a new thread in a specified area of my forum. I am running into trouble creating this script using some code I found lieing about the forum.
Is this the correct way to do things? because im getting an error "Parse error: parse error, unexpected $end"
here is the code im trying go get working.
Code:
<?php
// ############################## NOTES #################################
/**

* posting is allowed by default. Set the full path to your main forum
* directory, FTP to wherever, and call this script from your browser to
