2 questions about control with own created func in php

[traxion]

question 1
i would like to create though php a "create a topic" function, because i want to add multiple topic automatic to mine phpbb forum. after some research i fount that i needed the tables below

phpbb3_posts
phpbb3_topics
phpbb3_topics_posted

unfortunately are there some unknown field for me as for example the "post_checksum" in the phpbb3_posts table, the value of it is (2b923f57a4603fc73ab182b3f93567f2)

now i've been looking for a default to use add topic function but i'm unable to find it, inside the phpbb lib's. Does anybody have a idee where i can find one? or how to create mine own function?


question 2
i would like to create though php a "user into group" function, because i want to control the users-groups acces thougth the rest of the site. after some research i fount that i needed the tables below

phpbb3_users
phpbb3_user_group

in the user table i see again field where i cant get any info from, for example user_permissions in phpbb3_users, the field user_permissions had a value of (00000000006xv29nwg qlc4pi000000 qlc4pi000000) and some more of this data

now i've been looking for a default function but again i'm unable to find it, inside the phpbb lib's. Does anybody have a idea where i can find one? or how to create mine own function?

these two should help you out I think..

http://wiki.phpbb.com/Submit_post --> Posts a topic or post to the forum with the information supplied

http://wiki.phpbb.com/Group_user_add --> used to handle adding users to groups.

I'm supposed to know how phpbb3 works, still learning though. Also I know what's posted there because I'm actively participating there since the start of it.
