Thanks for sharing.

A few comments:

PHP Code:

@set_time_limit(0);
ignore_user_abort(true); 


This is probably not needed, and should be avoided if possible.

PHP Code:

require_once('./global.php'); 


vB3.5 uses absolute paths, you should always start with 'DIR
Input to your queries is not type validate, and open to SQL-Injections.

DIR constant is defined in init.php that global.php calls

very nice thank you .

[tinjon]

thanks a lot. works with beta 3.
admins being able to edit or delete msgs will be nice for future version.

np. deleting is a little tricky, as vbulletin stores one copy of the message in the pmtext table and says who has that message and where (folder) in the pm table. so you would have to delete the pointers to it, not sure if you delete from pmtext also, kinda confusing. as for editing I dont see a point to it. either one is best you log as the user right now.

updated, added search pms.
