of course i'm back.

not only does my code suck but i also don't know the db structure. i don't have phpmyadmin installed or anything so digging through tables and stuff via command line seems like a lot of work.

what jumps out at you when you look at the following.

i know this is wrong but this is what i have so far:

$thread_id_inj = $_GET['t'];
if ($thread_id_inj != '' && $_GET['styleid']==9){
	//global $db $vbulletin;
	//$get_first_post_inj = $db->query_read();

	$get_first_post_inj = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT pagetext FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE threadid = $thread_id_inj LIMIT 1");
}
echo $get_first_post_inj;

i get the following:

Database error in vBulletin 3.8.4:

Invalid SQL:
;

MySQL Error   : 
Error Number  : 0
