[SOLVED] Personal NoteBook

[SirChick]

I am wondering how this can be done in php..

 

I am going to create a few pages with a form and a box for inputting text...

 

Now what i am wondering is.... say the user inputs a few lines of text like reminders etc.. now when they load that text box up on that page or any other page that the box is loaded in.. that text will be showing the box (Which is stored from a table in the database).

 

Is it done via php ? Or do you need something like javascript to load up the text into the box ?

php and MySQL will do it all for you.

 

entering stuff: form and php processing to database

 

showing stuff: connect to database, retrieve 'notes', display in a div or whatever you want.

 

Personally, putting it all in a text file and storing it the desktop is a lot easier

wait if i echo it in a div it wont remain inside the text box though will it ? it needs to be withing the box itself.. so the user can just type underneath or edit what is echo'd withing the box and update etc

Simply output it back into a <textarea> then.

you mean put it in a textarea so that the user can easily manage the notes?

yea, just echo it in a textarea....

[SirChick]

<textarea name="TextArea1" id="TextArea1"><?phpecho$Stuff?></textarea>

 

Something like that?
