Including Wordpress Header

[hbalagh1]

Ok so i have created a plugin using global_start as the hook location

this is the code in the plugin

PHP Code:

ob_start();
  include('wphead.php');
  $wphead = ob_get_contents();
  ob_end_clean(); 


the wphead.php then includes the wp-blog-header.php for some reason i can't seem to get it to work w/o doing it that way, anyhow....

it works great and all with the exception that extra characters get thrown into the post that are created such as "test" gets changed to \"test\" or anything with " or a ' also the shoutbox that is installed on the forum just simply stops working and says loading any idea...

using the most recent copies of wordpress and vbulletin
