Messing with $post[message] in functions_newpost.php-The quest continues! Form vars?

[MTGDarkness]

Neither adds the info to the post nor parses it.

[Dismounted]

Actually, just add it to postbit_display_start instead. The parser is run just after that.

[MTGDarkness]

I tried that, then it just does nothing. It doesn't even add it to the html code.

And the code you are using is?

[MTGDarkness]

PHP Code:

    $post['message'] = $post['field11'].$post['message'].$post['field12']; 


Message shows up, the fields don't.

[Dismounted]

PHP Code:

$this->post['pagetext'] = $this->post['field11'] . $this->post['pagetext'] . $this->post['field12']; 


$post['message'] is only created when BB code is parsed.

That worked! OMG Thanks!
One question though-what's $this?

Object Oriented PHP

I'm just gonna stop asking there, because I'm 99% sure that I'll never get it. Ever.

$this is a variable that only exists in a class/object. It refers to the current object (i.e. the object where you are running the code). In your case, using $this->post and $post would not make a difference, they are the same (assigned by reference):

PHP Code:

$this->post =& $post;
