Edit: Adding:

Quote:#!/usr/bin/php
<?php

to the start of the script and:

Quote:?>

to the end allows the script to run but no new thread is created. Can you please tell me if the thread subject and message are supposed to be added to the script array like this?:

Quote:$subject="Subject";
$body="Message";

<?php

     $subject = "insert title here";
     $body    = "insert body here";
     postThread($subject, $body);
?>

You need to set the $message and $body variable yourself.

<?php

    $subject = "insert title here";
    $body    = "insert body here";
    postThread($subject, $body);
?>

You would likely need a little bit of coding knowledge to be able to get it completely working for your situation or setup.
