Using array in vbcode

[brandondrury]

I same to be having trouble displaying an array value within my vbcode. My searches didn't seam to come up with anything.

I want to send a PM to a user with a link that I'm dynamically creating.

I tried using this, but I think all of the brackets " [ " and " ] " are causing confusion, but it could be the fact that one of keys of my array is [URL].

[URL=www.domain.com/page_product.php?ID=$B[LinkID] ] $B

Well, even the code isn't displaying correctly on this thread.

Well, does anyone know the protocal for using assoc array values with VbCode?

Why do you need to dynamically create the link?

You cannot. bbcode is not a mini-php language The system cannot see some tags as bbcode and others as php items.

What you will have to do is code up a custom tag which does what you want it to do. I'd offer help here, but it is not clear to me where $B is coming from.

Are you serious?

I guess I should have given more info. I'm sending a PM from an external page (outside of vBulletin). The $B is an assoc array that I snagged out of a MySQL database. It holds most of the data that I want to send to the user.

It turns out that I had no trouble putting various array values into my private messages once I understood that bracket URL bracket was off limits. The bracket QUOTE bracket was a little funny, too. I'm not sure why.

So it's all under control now.

Thanks for taking the time to help.
