Chat refreshes and goes to the begining of the page

cchapoval

Hi,
I am using a simple private chat room but I am encountering one problem:

When chating the frame screen when refreshs goes to the first line instead to the last one in use, so you have to keep scrolling down to read the messages posted at the chat room. Any hint in how to fix it?

Tks,
Carla

Read the file into an array like so

$chatroom = fopen('myfile.txt','r');
$aryChatRoom = array();
while(!feof($chatroom)) {
  array_push($aryChatRoom,fgets($chatroom));
}
fclose($chatroom);

at this point $aryChatRoom holds our current chatroom state in the oldest to newest format. Now we reverse the array like so

$dispCharToom = array_reverse($aryChatRoom);

now we just display the reversed array and we get newest posts first.

Hi drawmack,

I tried using your advice but I only get to print array. I made some changes but it got worst and it was printing resource #2.

I did this a zillion times but I guess I am exhausted and "piss..." for not getting it.

This is my posting file that I was trying to incorporate your reverse_array

==========================================
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5" target="#end">
<?php
$fileName="messages.txt";

$fileOpen=@fopen($fileName,"r");
$fileRead=fread($fileOpen,filesize($fileName));
echo "<style type=\"text/css\">BODY{font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif}</style>".$fileRead;
fclose($fileOpen);

?>

see if you can iluminate my path....I am only trying to get to post this reversed (from top to bottom)...

Tks again
Carla

If you want to go back to your original solution try:

That should do what you want.

thanks graemeallan!

But while ago I found out that you can do just using the BODY ONLOAD tag:
