Thread: (PHP) A simple shout box for your site

Hey guys im going to show you a simple step by step guide on how to make your own personal shout box feel free to customize the forum however you may like..I just left a default for you.

Code:

<?php
$tag = ("<font size=\"2\" face=\"Arial\">

<a  href=\"$website\">$name: $message
</font>"); 

$file = fopen("tag.php", "r"); 
$read = fread($file, filesize("tag.php"));
fclose($file);
$invano = fopen("tag.php", "w"); //Leave alone look and learn, only edit if you know
php 
$tag=stripslashes($tag);
fwrite($invano, "$news $read");
fclose ($invano);
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\"  content=\"0;tag.php\">"; //edit path to where the tag.php file  falls
?>

Save this file under addtag.php


Now make a new file where it will store all the tags. Name it tags.php and CHMOD to 777.


Okay now here comes the form remember to include the tag.php.

Name:
Website:
Message:

It should closely resemble this:

Code:

<iframe name="tag" src="tags.php"  marginwidth="1" marginheight="0" height="200" width="200" border="0"  frameborder="0"></iframe>
<FORM action="addtag.php"  method="POST" targer="tag">
Name:<br>
<INPUT  TYPE="TEXT" name="name" size="20"><br>
Website:<br>
<INPUT  TYPE="text" name="website" size="20" value="http://"><br>
Message:<br>
<TEXTAREA  NAME="message" COLS=16 ROWS=2></TEXTAREA><br>
<br>
<INPUT  TYPE="Submit" name="submit" value="Tag it!" size="20">
</FORM>

Call this file tag.php

Now post the code anywhere in your site probably the index to make it appear

Code:

<? include "tag.php";?>

Enjoy
