[SOLVED] Automatically disconnect or disable a PHP message board - pliz help

[worldcomingtoanend]

I have the following simple message board script and how can I automatically disconnect it , lets say after 10 people have entered their comments. Thank you for your help: <form>

<input type="text" name="message"><br />

<input type="submit">

</form>

 

<?php

 

if (isset($_GET['message']))

{

    $fp = fopen('./messages.txt', 'a');

    fwrite($fp, "{$_GET['message']}<br />");

    fclose($fp);

}

 

readfile('./messages.txt');

 

?>

<?php

if (isset($_GET['message']))
{
    $count = fopen('./messageCount.txt','r+');
    $n = fread($count,1024);
    if (($e = ($n + 1)) <= 10) {
        rewind($count);
        fwrite($count,$e);
        fclose($count);
        $fp = fopen('./messages.txt', 'a');
        fwrite($fp, "{$_GET['message']}<br />");
        fclose($fp);
    }
}

readfile('./messages.txt');

?>
