i havent wrote any php before

[jamieharrop14]

Hi, i am wanted to create a form that when a user clicks submit it inserts that text on a certain page. for example, i am creating a website to let webmasters tell other webmasters what they think of there site and give them ideas etc. I want to be able to let the webmaster who is telling the other webmaster what he thinks about the website to just be able to type there message in a form and then click submit and then the message that the webmaster has just typed is then viewable to other users.

I want to write it my self because i am very limited to the amount of money i can spend.

Any help would be great!

thanks
jamie

Start with www.php.net/manual/en.
Also try the tutorials on www.spoono.com .

What you wanna do is quite simple. However , if you haven't done any php/mySQL it might get annoying.
In any case, it's a great project to learn php 😃 😃

The bare bones are here:

First you need to have a table in your db.
Call it Forms (or whatever else....)
You need at least two fields, ID, Comment.

Create an html page , with a form, and comment field, submit button.
Set the form action to display.php

create the php page, display.php.
Within that connect to the db, insert info, display info.

=======

Remember this is just the simplest method. There are more complex ways of doind it (like displaying and processing the form on one page....)
