Php comment script pls help

[chandler]

Hi I think this should be an easy one for you lot

 

$fp = fopen('messages.txt', 'a');
fwrite($fp, "<div id=\"census41_messages\"><p>$message<br />$message2</p></div>");
fclose($fp);

 

The  div above is the problem, this is wrote to the file each time a comment is made and is messing up the layout of the comments, how can I get the div to go around all the comments?.

 

 

Thanks for your help.

why are you writing HTML to a text file?

Without seeing your code, exactly where you are having issues, its hard to diagnose the problem(s).....

Here is the full script, all I want to be able to do is to style the comments, but if I have "<div id=\"census41_messages\">" where it is now, then I have this result

<div id="census41_messages"> <p>Name<br />Message</p></div>

<div id="census41_messages"> <p>Name<br />Message</p></div>

<div id="census41_messages"> <p>Name<br />Message</p></div>

 

but what I want is!

<div id="census41_messages">

<p>Name<br />Message</p>

<p>Name<br />Message</p>

<p>Name<br />Message</p>

</div>

 

		<?php

if (isset($_POST['message']))
{
if (isset($_SESSION['token']) && $_POST['token'] == $_SESSION['token'])
{
$message = htmlentities($_POST['message']);
$message2 = htmlentities($_POST['message2']);

$fp = fopen('messages.txt', 'a');
fwrite($fp, "<div id=\"census41_messages\"> <p>$message<br />$message2</p></div>");
fclose($fp);
}
}

$token = md5(uniqid(rand(), true));
$_SESSION['token'] = $token;

?>


<form id="contFrm" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="token" value="<?php echo $token;?>" />
<label><span class="required">*</span> Full Name:</label>
<input type="text" class="box"  name="message"><br />
<label><span class="required">*</span> Message: </label>
<textarea name="message2" id="message" cols="25" rows="8"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" class="button" value="Submit">
</form> 




<?php
readfile('messages.txt');
?> 

 

 

Thanks

why don't you echo the beginning an ending parts of the div, and make the middle dynamic

 

		<?php

if (isset($_POST['message']))
{
if (isset($_SESSION['token']) && $_POST['token'] == $_SESSION['token'])
{
$message = htmlentities($_POST['message']);
$message2 = htmlentities($_POST['message2']);

$fp = fopen('messages.txt', 'a');
fwrite($fp, "<p>$message<br />$message2</p>");
fclose($fp);
}
}

$token = md5(uniqid(rand(), true));
$_SESSION['token'] = $token;

?>


<form id="contFrm" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="token" value="<?php echo $token;?>" />
<label><span class="required">*</span> Full Name:</label>
<input type="text" class="box"  name="message"><br />
<label><span class="required">*</span> Message: </label>
<textarea name="message2" id="message" cols="25" rows="8"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" class="button" value="Submit">
</form> 




<?php
echo "<div id=\"census41_messages\"> ";
readfile('messages.txt');
echo "</div>";
?>
