Hi guys,
So heres what I'm trying to do. I'm editing a plugin and in the submit video form (where admins sumbit a video) the plugin has an input title (for the post) field. What I'm trying to do is combing the category name (the plugin already has the input field for it) and another input field and set it as the title for the post.
Can anyone guide me on how I would do this? Much appreciated if you could.

I don't get you. The whole form code looks like this
<form name="post" method="post">
<div class="wrap">
<div id="poststuff">
<div id="post-body">
<div class="postbox">
<h3><label for="title">Name of Anime/Movie Category (i.e. Naruto, Bleach, One Piece):</label></h3>
<div class="inside">
<?php wp_dropdown_categories( array( 'hide_empty' => 0, 'name' => 'category', 'orderby' => 'id', 'hierarchical' => 1, 'tab_index' => 1 ) ); ?>
</div>
</div>
<div class="postbox">
<h3>Episode or Part: <small>(If Anime then TYPE "Episode 3", If Movie then TYPE "Part 1", ETC.)</small></h3>
<div class="inside">
<input type="text" name="partepisode" size="30" tabindex="2" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_POST['partepisode']);?>" id="partepisode" style="width: 98%;"/>
</div>
</div>
<div class="postbox">
<h3>Video Description:</h3>
<div class="inside">
<textarea id="description" tabindex="2" name="description" cols="40" rows="3" style="width: 98%;"/>
<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_POST['description']);?>
</textarea>
</div>
</div>
<div class="postbox">

So how do I get to to set the title to what the category and and video part is? like for an example the category is Caramel because I selected it, and I typed Apple for the input. When I submit the form how do I combine both and get the title to be Caramel Apple?

If you have a post value for each it would be something like:
$category_and_title = $_POST['category'] . $_POST['title'];
What's so difficult about that? You state your problem so vague, what specifically are you not understanding?

I've never touched PHP before and this is my first time playing with it..
it's not working though..
<?php $title = $_POST['category'] . $_POST['title'];?>

That was an example, I dont know what your post indexes are. look for the input names
<?php $title = $_POST[' (insert category's input name here) '] . $_POST[' (insert title's input name here) '];?>
If you don't have experience with php you should consider hiring somebody else who does. This is a very basic php concept. Learn about it here:

It still doesn't work.
<?php $_title = $_POST['category'] . $_POST['partepisode'];?>
It checks if the user put anything
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
if($_POST['embed'] == ''){
echo '<div class="updated" id="message" style="background-color: rgb(255, 251, 204);"><p><strong>You should enter a valid embed-code</strong></div>';
}
if($_POST['thumb'] == ''){
echo '<div class="updated" id="message" style="background-color: rgb(255, 251, 204);"><p><strong>You should enter a valid thumbnail URL</strong></div>';
}
if($_POST['title'] == ''){
echo '<div class="updated" id="message" style="background-color: rgb(255, 251, 204);"><p><strong>You should enter a title</strong></div>';
}
if($_POST['partepisode'] == ''){
echo '<div class="updated" id="message" style="background-color: rgb(255, 251, 204);"><p><strong>You should enter a part or episode number</strong></div>';
}
}and it gives me "You should enter a title" problem. =[ sigh I've been at this for hours.

Would this possibly work
<?php $POST['title'] = $_POST['category'] . $_POST['partepisode'];?>

you aren't showing any understanding of php. read through the lessons on w3shools.com and you should be able to do this
