Hello mates

<?php

include "../includes/common.php";

$user_id=$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['id'];

$chat=$_POST['chat'];
if($chat==1) {
$message=$_POST['message'];
mysql_query("INSERT INTO chat (user_id,message) VALUES('".$user_id."','".$message."')") or die(mysql_error());

}
require 'header.php';
?>
<br />
<form action="chat.php" method="POST" onSubmit="this.chat.value=1;"> 
<table border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="1" class="tablefadebg" align="center">
<tr valign="top">
<td>Type Here Your Message You want to Post</td><td><textarea cols="60" rows="7" name="message"></textarea></td>
</tr>

as a start, you assigned no value to chat in the form

yes i did using this

onSubmit="this.chat.value=1";

in the form. Look again

Thanks anyway
