I haven't written any PHP since I was in school about 8 years ago so I'm sure this is going to be a pretty n00b question.
I'm working on my first product and had a question about how to post messages. I got pretty far with the awesome articles here but I'm at a point where I'm lost to the extent of where I don't even know what terms I would use to search for an answer.
I have the following PHP file:
PHP Code:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
// add for wysiwyg
define('GET_EDIT_TEMPLATES', true);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'trprojects_test');
define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);
// ################### 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('trprojects_test',);
// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array();
// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
// if your page is outside of your normal vb forums directory, you should change directories by uncommenting the next line
chdir ('/home/sandboxt/public_html');
require_once('./global.php');
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_editor.php');
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_bigthree.php');
// #######################################################################
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
// #######################################################################
//$editorid = construct_edit_toolbar('',1,'signature',1,1,($vbulletin->userinfo['userid']));
$editorid = construct_edit_toolbar("test body text",0,0,1,1,0,'fe');
// ###### YOUR CUSTOM CODE GOES HERE #####
$pagetitle = 'My Projects';
// ###### NOW YOUR TEMPLATE IS BEING RENDERED ######
$templater = vB_Template::create('trprojects_test');
$templater->register_page_templates();
$templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle);
$templater->register('editorid', $editorid);
$templater->register('messagearea', $messagearea);
print_output($templater->render());
if ($_POST['do'] == 'postreply')
{
$outputvar .= "test it";
}
and my template:
Code:
{vb:stylevar htmldoctype}
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"<vb:if condition="$vboptions['enablefacebookconnect']"> xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml"</vb:if> dir="{vb:stylevar textdirection}" lang="{vb:stylevar languagecode}">
<head>
{vb:raw headinclude}
{vb:cssfile attachment.css}
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin-editor.js?v={vb:raw vboptions.simpleversion}"></script>
<title>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle} - {vb:raw pagetitle}</title>
{vb:raw headinclude_bottom}
</head>
<body>
{vb:raw header}
{vb:raw navbar}
<div id="pagetitle">
<h1>{vb:raw pagetitle}</h1>
</div>
<form class="vbform block" action="/projects/post.php?do=postreply" method="post" name="vbform" onsubmit="return vB_Editor['{vb:raw editorid}'].prepare_submit(0,0)">
<h2 class="blockhead">{vb:rawphrase your_message}</h2>
<div class="blockbody formcontrols">
<div class="section">
{vb:raw messagearea}
</div>
</div>
<div class="blockfoot actionbuttons">
<div class="group">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="{vb:raw session.sessionhash}" />
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="{vb:raw bbuserinfo.securitytoken}" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="postreply" />
<input type="submit" class="button" name="sbutton" id="{vb:raw editorid}_save" value="submit it" accesskey="s" tabindex="1" />
<input type="submit" class="button" name="preview" value="preview" accesskey="r" tabindex="1" />
</div>
</div>
</form>
{vb:raw footer}
</body>
</html>
My question is how do I get the text that is entered in the form's messagearea to display on a new page? I'll be eventually sending this message to the DB. As long as I know how to get the text to show up on a new page, I'm sure I can figure out the rest (I'm pretty well versed in other languages).

I meant how do I get the text to show up in a new vBulletin page?
An example would be when I click "Go Advanced" it takes me to newreply.php. Then when I enter text and click submit reply it takes me back to showthread.php.
