GuitaristTLE Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I'm trying to build a website. And I want people to fill out a form that I create, which I know how to do in HTML for the most part. But I want it to be posted permanently onto an appropriate page. Here's a super bad example but appropriate, on myspace they have the comments thing, where you type in a comment and it's posted on their profile. I want people to fill out this form and have it posted on a main page so people can browse through the information others have submitted. More similar to message forums I guess. I've been looking for tutorials on this. I've already made the form and I can get it to post on a certain page, but it doesn't stay on that page... How do I get this to work? If you don't know what I'm talking about I'll try to explain it better. I should have been a CS major... Can anyone help me? My knowledge is limited, I know some HTML and that's about it. Is it possible for me to teach myself PHP?_Aerospace Engineer in Need of Some Code Knowledge : (Renee Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/8069-trying-to-learn/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barand Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 To get it to stay on the page you need to store it somewhere on the server. This could be in a database, such as MySql, or it could just be text file.Either way you need a language such as PHP to save the comments and subsequently retrieve them to display on the page.A series of articles by Kevin Yank got me started on the PHP/MySQL path.[a href=\"http://www.sitepoint.com/article/publishing-mysql-data-web\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.sitepoint.com/article/publishing-mysql-data-web[/a] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/8069-trying-to-learn/#findComment-29771 Share on other sites More sharing options...
