MyBB Community Forums

Note: my forums are example.com/forums and this page is in example.com

Could someone please change this form field below and make it hidden, and display the bbusername instead of what it shows now, i have tryed loads of different ways, but i just cant do it.

<input type="text" name="name" value="<?php echo $name?>">

Here is the page:

<?php

/*-----------FIRST GET THE OLD MESSAGES FROM messages.htm-----------*/
// Read file into an array
$message_array = file("messages.htm");

// Compile the string
for ($counter = 1; $counter < 20; $counter++) {/*INSTEAD OF 20 WRITE SOMETHING ELSE, SAY 30*/
    $old_messages .= $message_array[$counter];
}

/*-----------SECOND GET AND MODIFY THE NEW MESSAGE-----------*/
//ADD TIME
$time = date("H:i");

//ADD URL
if($url)
    $link_html .= " <a href=\"$url\" target=\"_new\">".
        "<font face=\"wingdings\">2</font></a>";

//ADD EMAIL
if($mail)
    $link_html .= " <a href=\"mailto: $mail\" target=\"_new\">".
        "<font face=\"wingdings\">*</font></a>";

$new_message = "<font color=\"$color\"><b><i>$name</i></b>".
    " $link_html <font size=\"1\">($time)</font> : $message</font><br>\n";


/*-----------THIRD MAKE THE HEADER AND THE FOOTER-----------*/
// It's important that there are no newline
// characters except at the end of the string.
// This keeps all the headers together.
$header = "<html><head><meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"8\">". /*INCREASE THE REFRESH TIME FROM 8 TO 20*/
    "<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex\"></head>".
    "<body bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" text=\"#000000\">\n";

$footer = "<p align=\"center\"><font color=\"#000000\">".
    "<a href='mailto:[email protected]'>&copy; Vineet Sharda</a></font></p></body></html>";

// Opens file for writing and truncates file length to zero.
$open_file = fopen("messages.htm", "w");

/*-----------FOURTH UPDATE THE messages.htm-----------*/
// write file header...
fputs($open_file, $header);

// ... new line...
// (stripSlashes because we don't want all
// our escape characters appearing in the
// message file)
fputs($open_file, stripslashes($new_message));

// ... old lines ...
fputs($open_file, $old_messages);

// ... and footer.
fputs($open_file, $footer);

// Close the file when you're done. Don't forget to wash your hands
fclose($open_file);
