it may even be

$50postusername = $vbulletin->userinfo['username']
$pmdm->set('message', "congratulations " .  $50postusername  . " you have made your 50th post, we're all so prod of you keep on posting");

thank you!

but apparently using the line " $50postusername = $vbulletin->userinfo['username']; " makes the script to stop working, and i have tried with both possibilities you have posted in here, the one with the joined strings and the one with the direct variable this is my full code:

PHP Code:

if ($foruminfo['countposts'] AND $vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] + 1 == 50) {
$50postusername = $vbulletin->userinfo['username']; 
$pmdm =& datamanager_init('PM', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY); 
        $pmdm->set('fromuserid', 1); 
        $pmdm->set('fromusername', Administrator); 
        $pmdm->set('title', 'Congratulations');
        $pmdm->set('message', "congratulations $50postusername you have made your 50th post, we're all so prod of you keep on posting");
        $pmdm->set_recipients($vbulletin->userinfo['username'], $permissions); 
        $pmdm->set('dateline', TIMENOW); 
    
        $pmdm->pre_save(); 
    
        // process errors if there are any 
        $errors = array_merge($errors, $pmdm->errors); 
    
        if (!empty($errors)) 
        { 
                $errorlist = ''; 
                foreach ($pmdm->errors AS $index => $error) 
                { 
                    $errorlist .= "<li>$error</li>"; 
                } 
        } 
        else 
        { 
            // everything's good! 
            $pmdm->save(); 
        } 
} 


im using the $pmdm->error() function too and its not giving me any error, its almost as if the script was dying because of the extra variable im setting in before reaching the end
