Orio Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 You mean let's say messageview.html looks like this:[code]<html><head><title>Something</title></head><body>[/code]And you want to have a form so when you enter: "1,2,3", messageview.html will become:[code]<html><head><title>Something</title></head><body>1,2,3[/code]??Orio.

Orio Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 In that case, I recomend you to do something like this:make messageview.html a php file (for example messageview.php?), and make it look like this:[code]<html><head><title>Title</title></head><body><?php include("messages.txt"); ?></body></html>[/code]Now, Google for a tutorial about php and files, and how to write to files. Use that tutorial to make your script, that will write what ever you want to add into messages.txt. Every time someone opens messageview.php, he will see everything that was added with the form.I am not going to make the script for you, find one on google.Orio.
