Please help. Need to parse bbcode in a user profile field and pass it to a template.

Ok that was helpful. I've been looking for the msdn of vbulletin, but I have another question...

If I put some html in a php variable (like $myvar = "<TABLE> STUFF </TABLE>, then ask it to show on a custom template, it still strips out the chars. Do I need to put a function of some sort on the template itself to allow it to be treated as code and not &lt $gt chars?

Here is a pseudo of what i'm doing...

PLUGIN in global_start:

PHP Code:

$myvar = "<table> Stuff </table>";
eval $myvar on custom_template; 


CUSTOM_TEMPLATE

$myvar

EDIT: Can I use

(taken from the api)
string unhtmlspecialchars (string $text, [boolean $doUniCode = false])

in a template?
