UID and Bitfield

You can't just echo those fields, you need to use the generate_text_for_display function which interprets the 3 fileds together.

Take a look at this wiki post: http://wiki.phpbb.com/Parsing_text

Try using and not echo, it sometimes gives better results and more information.

How you're seeing it, also, is how it will appear in the database. If you want to see it, parsed and all, run it through generate_text_for_display(), trust me, it works. I've used it quite often.

Actually, you might want to take a look at this then. It handles all that for you.

That file, zephyr.php, has a lot more functionality than I need to just parse bbcode. The only problem I've run into so far is getting the uid and bitfield working, so I can use them along with the bbcodes (for the database).

Uh, just to make sure, you are passing vars through the GET or POST superglobals for the text, correct?
If you aren't, the parser won't generate the UID or bitfield.

No, don't access the superglobals directly. request_var should be used, and from what I can tell it is being used correctly.

Even if I set it to $POST['text'] = 'loremipsumdoloretcetera', or when using just $text, it still does not produce any result in the var_dump's. Are there any other prequisites for using generate_text_for_storage, other than needing access to the functions definiton? Such as needing to be logged into phpbb etc.
