Im trying to make an Instant Message box on my site. First, you type in a username then I want it to create a new html file in /Users/ called (username).html . than I want the chat box on the site to post to and display the text in Users/(username).html . I can't seem to get it to work this is what I have:

 

test.php:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title></title>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
<style type="text/css">html {
background-color: #264C67;
}</style>
</head>
<body>

<?
session_start();

function loginForm(){
	echo'
	<div id="loginform">
	<form action="test.php" method="post">
		<p>Please enter your name to continue:</p>
		<label for="name">Name:</label>
		<input type="text" name="name" id="name" />
		<input type="submit" name="enter" id="enter" value="Enter" />
	</form>
	</div>
	';
}

if(isset($_POST['enter'])){
	if($_POST['name'] != ""){
		$_SESSION['name'] = stripslashes(htmlspecialchars($_POST['name']));
	}
	else{
		echo '<span class="error">Please type in a name</span>';
	}
}
?>

<?php
if(!isset($_SESSION['name'])){
	loginForm();
}
else{
?>

<div id="wrapper">
	<div id="menu">
		<p class="welcome">Welcome, <b><?php echo $_SESSION['name']; ?></b></p>
		<p class="logout"><a id="exit" href="#">Exit Chat</a></p>
		<div style="clear:both"></div>
	</div>	
	<div id="chatbox">
	<div id="chatbox"><?php
	if(file_exists("Users/" . $_SESSION['name'] . ".html") && filesize("Users/" . $_SESSION['name'] . ".html") > 0){
		$handle = fopen("Users/" . $_SESSION['name'] . ".html", "r");
		$contents = fread($handle, filesize("Users/" . $_SESSION['name'] . ".html"));
		fclose($handle);
		
		echo $contents;
	}

	?></div>
</div>

	
	<form name="message" action="">

		$("#usermsg").attr("value", "");
		return false;
	});
	
	//Load the file containing the chat log
	function loadLog(){		
		var oldscrollHeight = $("#chatbox").attr("scrollHeight") - 20;
		$.ajax({
			url: "Users/" . $_SESSION['name'] . ".html",
			cache: false,
			success: function(html){		
				$("#chatbox").html(html); //Insert chat log into the #chatbox div				
				var newscrollHeight = $("#chatbox").attr("scrollHeight") - 20;
				if(newscrollHeight > oldscrollHeight){
					$("#chatbox").animate({ scrollTop: newscrollHeight }, 'normal'); //Autoscroll to bottom of div
				}				
		  	},
		});
	}
	setInterval (loadLog, 1000);	//Reload file every 2.5 seconds
	
	//If user wants to end session

		if(exit==true){window.location = 'test.php?logout=true';}

	fclose($fp);
	
	session_destroy();
