shouldn't be that difficult.. study the database.. all you need to add is an extra insert

I'll try to look into the layout of the phpBB database, I'll post back here

edit: err, I'm having problems downloading phpBB from sourceforge

all right, I could now download it (must have been some problems over at sourceforge earlier)... these are the two tables you're looking for:

Code:
# --------------------------------------------------------
#
# Table structure for table 'phpbb_posts'
#
CREATE TABLE phpbb_posts (
   post_id mediumint(8) UNSIGNED NOT NULL auto_increment,
   topic_id mediumint(8) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
   forum_id smallint(5) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
   poster_id mediumint(8) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
   post_time int(11) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
   poster_ip char(8) NOT NULL, 
   post_username varchar(25), 
   enable_bbcode tinyint(1) DEFAULT '1' NOT NULL,
   enable_html tinyint(1) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
   enable_smilies tinyint(1) DEFAULT '1' NOT NULL,
   enable_sig tinyint(1) DEFAULT '1' NOT NULL, 
   post_edit_time int(11),
   post_edit_count smallint(5) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
   PRIMARY KEY (post_id),
   KEY forum_id (forum_id),
   KEY topic_id (topic_id),
   KEY poster_id (poster_id), 
   KEY post_time (post_time)
);


# --------------------------------------------------------
#
# Table structure for table 'phpbb_posts_text'
#
CREATE TABLE phpbb_posts_text (
   post_id mediumint(8) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
   bbcode_uid char(10) NOT NULL,
   post_subject char(60),
   post_text text,
   PRIMARY KEY (post_id)
);


I haven't got that much experience with phpBB, but all you have to do now is to make the forum you want to have the posts in, and find out what forum id and topic id it has.. the post_id will be assigned automatically (auto_increment), and to insert the actual text, you can use "SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()" to fetch the post_id

err, hope that helps you

doesn't phpbb have the ability to export a forum post to a flat text file? If so,...Just setup an announcements forum,...lock it down so only you can post in it,....then include that exported text file in your news page

the post_id in phpbb_posts_text should be the id of the entry in phpbb_posts.. try and see if this works

PHP Code:
 mysql_query("INSERT INTO phpbb_posts
(topic_id, forum_id, poster_id, post_time, poster_ip, post_username)
VALUES (1, 1, 1, ' . time() . ', '0.0.0.0', 'your_username')");

mysql_query("INSERT INTO phpbb_posts_text
(post_id, post_subject, post_text)
VALUES (LAST_INSERT_ID(), 'News Discussion: $news_title', '$news_text')"); 


just replace the topic_id, forum_id, poster_id and post_username with the correct value...
