Create a New Thread as Poll

[Kozical]

Hey, I have recently found code for creating a new post but I need to create a thread and hopefully without me having to personally write the sql inserts and queues to manually create a new thread that works as a poll.
I wanted to stop by here and ask the community if there was a way.

I am trying to make an application form to join my community and then once it is submitted have it automatically create a new poll thread that people will vote on. Rather than having to manually go in and create one every time someone applies..

Question again just for clarity:

I need the php code to create a new poll thread. Does anyone know where I can locate this?

Thanks!

Well it seems noone cared to help or just didn't know how so I sought out the information I wanted and I will be nice and show you the class I wrote specifically for my forums. So you may want to modify it to suite your needs. However, I am trying to be nice by adding this here so please do not flame my coding style..

}

$obj->InitPoll("Poll Question");
$obj->InitThread("Title of the thread", "Text to be display in first post.. use \n for new line");
$obj->BuildThread();
