Can I edit my message on the message board?

PHP-Message Board Help?

  • I am just trying to start php -also any tutorials recommended- and I am trying to make a message board for practice. It works but when I type something new the previous message goes away. I understand why this happens just dont know how to fix it... I have a html file and a php file index.html- <!DOCTYPE html> <html><body> <h4><u>Message Board</u></h4> <form action="myfirstfile.php" method="post"> <input name="message" type="text" /> <input type="submit" name="formSubmit" value="Submit" style="height: 0px; width: 0px; border: none; padding: 0px;" hidefocus="true" /> </form> </body> </html> myfirstfile.php- <?php include 'index.html'; $message = $_POST['message']; echo "$message"; ?>

  • Answer:

    You should be more specific . And what I get from your question is you input a message it displays then again you input a message the older one goes away and the newer one is displayed . Look this cant be done only with PHP i am not sure but may be you can but it requires a mySQL database to hold stuff and display it . visit -> developphp.com and phpacademy.com > for great tutorials Now how you do this is I wont be writing the code but when you post the message it goes to the mySQL database and gets stored there then you pull the data outta there and display it on the screen . With certain parameters like DESC and LIMIT 1 . if you are a noob you wont get these but thats how its done .
