PHP3 help,

[Anon]

I have made a page where you type in what ever you like in a text field box then you hit submit, it then posts it on a php3 page no problems at all, but only I can see what I typed, no one else?

I want to create an update page where people come to see what is happening etc...

The only problem is how do I make that stay on that page for everyone to see or do I have to create a database for it to refer to?

please help

Thanks
Ben

It sounds like you have a PHP script that outputs the results of your post operation. You are right - the results of that operation will only be available to you after you have filled out the form.

In order to have a permanent page, you need to do one of two things:

1) create a page (using fputs and other functions). This is difficult to manipulate and change once it is made (with the exception of simply addending to the page).

2) store the results of your operation in a database and pull those results when someone wants to see them. Probably the preferred method.
