That code is setting the $vbulletin->GPC['message'] to the first numerical occurence of "hello" in the $string.

It is not echoing or displaying anything.

if i enter

$vbulletin->GPC['message'] = "dododo";

then try to post something it will only post "dododo" so i dont understand why i cant get it to post 15 or whatever for the numerical occurence for hello.

Try:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->GPC['message'] =  strpos($vbulletin->GPC['message'], 'hello'); 


In hook: newthread_post_start

it changes it to hai: no matter what i do. even if i put hello or dont in the post

I tested the code and it works, make sure you:

1.) Are creating a new thread, a reply wont work.

2.) It is in the correct hook location.
