Hello!
Have any of you lovely people seen those MSN spaces? Well I have been trying to put together a blog for my uncle so he can leave a message on each of the individual client pages. He doesnt understand script so its not like he can just put some text and upload the script everytime he wants to leave a message. So, to solve the probelem i am planning on just placing a PHP ONLY blog. As I am new i still dont really understand databases e.t.c. so it cant be mysql as i understand sometimes the blogs use databases ( I will understand databases soon!) I have tried hot scripts but some dont work.

I dont need any user authentication just a simple way to post a message and it inserts itself into the page!

Please correct me wherever i get things wrong it is the only way for me to learn!

Thanks

Walker

Just get a Blogger account or something...
They are all free and you just type in your message and it's done...

i would prefer it to be built into one of the pages on the website rather than remote

thanks but they are all much more complicated than i need. I just need some php script for when someone fills in a simple multi line text input box for it just to appear above or on another page! Thanks for looking i have already seen these!

You'll need one small script that does the following:
1) Checks for input in the form of POST variables from a form.
2) If there are none, create the form and send to browser.
3) If there are, write the value to a text file.

Then on the page you want the text to appear you just open up the text file and echo the contents. You'll need to watch out what goes into the file, otherwise people could put javascript redirects and alsorts into it, so you'll need a bit of data validation but that's not too hard.

That's the simple method with no databases, let us know if you want more complete explanations of any or all of the parts.
