For the sake of example, lets assume I have this text inside a var in the bash script.
postmsg() { local str1=${1) }
What I would like to do is take that string from str1 and post it to a thread in a phpbb forum.
If you need a test place i've set up a test phpbb forum at the address : http://hq4ever.mybesthost.com/viewtopic.php?t=4, you are welcome to abuse it any way you like (:
curl is probably the simplest tool to use and what you're looking for. You might need to play with it a bit to get the data sets just right.
emerge curl
