PHP Micro Chat Question

Hi,

 

I copied some code for a PHP chat file.  The index page (index.php) sends the different users' posts to another short PHP file (message.php) which then writes them onto a blank html document (msg.html) which is viewable on the index page.  The problem I am encountering is that I can't get the html document to reset after the session is over.  The posts are viewable by whoever logs on next which isn't what I want.  Does anyone know an easy way to fix this???  The code is as follows:

 

index.php -

 

<?php

session_start();

 

function createForm(){

?>

      <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">

        <table align="center">

          <tr><td colspan="2">Please enter a nickname to login.</td></tr>

          <tr><td>Your name: </td>

          <td><input class="text" type="text" name="name" /></td></tr>

          <tr><td colspan="2" align="center">

            <input class="text" type="submit" name="submitBtn" value="Login" />

          </td></tr>

        </table>

      </form>

<?php

}

 

if (isset($_GET['u'])){

  unset($_SESSION['nickname']);

}

 

// Process login info

if (isset($_POST['submitBtn'])){

      $name    = isset($_POST['name']) ? $_POST['name'] : "Unnamed";

      $_SESSION['nickname'] = $name;

}

 

$nickname = isset($_SESSION['nickname']) ? $_SESSION['nickname'] : "Hidden"; 

?>

Did you figure out a way to make this work? I'm having the same problem and can't fix this on my own.

Let me know if you found a solution. I also wouldn't mind having a sound play every time a new message shows on the chat list.

Thanks!

L.
