hi all,

this is something i really would like some ideas on, i find it hard writing a concise decription of my problem nevermind an answer to it, but here goes...

i have designed a php site, primarily for a league, it has various functions and one being for a team leader to submit a result. all this is fine, but what i would really like is for me to include in that piece of code a way of when the user clicks to submit button, which contains, match report, score etc that this triggers a new post on the forum containing this data.

the forum used is phpbb btw. i imagine i need to find the code from phpbb that submits a post to the correct forum and include it within my external match section, but knowing how and where is dumbfounding me...

if anyone could shed some light on this matter i would be extremely grateful.

thank you

ian.

you'll need to fiddle with adding data to _posts and _post_text, as well as a few other tables for updating the article count information..
