multiple comments on one page

Hi. I'm working on something and wondering if I can do this in php.
Say I had
1)blahblahblah

2) blahblahblah

Is there a way to let the users add more comments to 1), 2), or 3)... so on and so forth?

thanks!

Hi Simon,
Okay here is my specific question:

I am writing a study guide for the class. And I have

1) question one: something

2) question two: something else

3)
.
.
.

I want people to be able to contribute to the question by posting comments and messages after each question, whichever they choose. Can I do this with php?

Thank you once again
Have a great day
Nikki

Sure...

You can do anything with PHP almost...least of all that.

My recommendation:

Use MySQL (or your favorite PHP compatible database).
Create 2 tables: 1) questions 2) answers
Cycle through your questions (mysql_fetch_row) and write them out to the page.
Have a link to an answers page and pass the question id via GET.
Permit user to POST an answer to selected question.

You should be able to either do a JOIN query and write some formatting logic or send a different query to your answers table with each iteration of your question table output loop to list the answers posted so far underneath each question.

Have fun.
