I still cant get this thing to work, but here's a code snippet if thats any help... where {postid} should appear, it is just blank!
PHP Code:
<?php

//Set your permissions in your control panel to make sure that only YOU and who you specify can post news. Otherwise, everyone and their dog can register and post in your news forums, thus posting where your news will appear. But for this script to work it's extra magic, be sure your members can reply to your news posts.
require("./newsconfig.php");
require('./admin/config.php');
str_replace('{postid}', $post['postid'], $bbcode);
//scroll down to edit the HTML for the news

//connect
$connection = mysql_connect("$servername","$dbusername","$dbpassword") or die ("Cannot connect to server.");

if (!$sql_result) {
echo "<p>Could not get record.";
}
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result)) {
$threadid = $row["threadid"];

$dateline = $row["dateline"];
//create the second SQL statement to pull the post from the thread it resides in
$sql2 = "SELECT postid, threadid, username, userid, title, dateline, pagetext, iconid FROM post WHERE threadid = \"$threadid\" ORDER BY postid ASC LIMIT 1";
//execute second sql query
$sql_result2 = mysql_query($sql2, $connection) or die ("Could not execute query in second sql statement.");
if (!$sql_result2) {

}
