Hello

Ive made a little chat just for practise and now i want to integrate it with vbulletin also just for practice..

Any tutorials out there to help me do this?

heres my code

<?php

$username="?";
$password="?";
$database="?";

$message=$_POST['message'];

mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die('Unable to connect');

$query = "INSERT INTO chat VALUES ('$message')";

mysql_query($query);

$query2="SELECT * FROM chat";
$result=mysql_query($query2);

$num=mysql_numrows($result);

mysql_close();

echo "<b><center>Chat history</center></b><br><br>";

$i=0;
while ($i < $num) {

$message=mysql_result($result,$i,"message");

echo "<b>Message: $message</b><br />";

$i++;
}

?>

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="[removed by me]">
  <label></label>
  <div align="center">
    <label>
    <input name="message" type="text" id="message" size="100" />
    </label>
    <label></label>
    <label>
    <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
    </label>
</div>
</form>

okay ive figured it out now and i have intergrated it with the style.
its a little chatroom/shoutbox but when i submit a message it does not submit
ive made all the tables and have double checked everything...
ive also checked the form.

here is the code

<?php

eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";'); 

// change the line below to contain the name of the actual main output template used in your script 
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('mychat') . '");'); 

$message=$_POST['message'];

$query = "INSERT INTO mychat VALUES ('$message')";

mysql_query($query);

$query2="SELECT * FROM mychat";
$result=mysql_query($query2);

$num=mysql_numrows($result);

echo "<b><center>Chat history</center></b><br><br>";

$i=0;
