PHP Code:

    $forumid = 46; // Replace this with your forum id
    $foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid, false);
    // Prepare Post
    $post[title] = 'New thread title';
    $post[poststarttime] = TIMENOW;
    $post[posthash] = md5($post[poststarttime] . $bbuserinfo['userid'] . $bbuserinfo['salt']);
    $post[message] = 'New thread post content';
    require_once('./includes/functions_newpost.php');
    build_new_post('thread', $foruminfo, array(), 0, $post, $errors);
