PHP Code:

$postdm = new vB_DataManager_Post($vbulletin, ERRTYPE_STANDARD); 

$timenow = TIMENOW ;
$threadinfo = fetch_threadinfo($threadid);
$foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid);

$postdm->set_info('forum', $foruminfo);
$postdm->set_info('thread', $threadinfo);  
$postdm->set('threadid', $threadid);
$postdm->set('title', $symid);
$postdm->set('userid', $userid);
$postdm->set('pagetext', $message);
$postdm->set('allowsmilie', 1);
$postdm->set('visible', 1);
$postdm->set('dateline', $timenow);
$postdm->save();
unset($postdm); 


this works.
