I am trying to make a very basic CMS because I want to try to get better at PHP so anyway. How would I make it so what gets typed inthe box dosent jsut apear for year but it edits the page so it stays there.

<html>
<head>
<title>Forum Page Test</title>
</head>
<body>
Current Comments:<br>
<?php echo $_POST["name"]; ?>
<p>
<form action="test.php" method="POST">
Comment: <input type="text" name="name" />
<input type="submit" />
</form></body>
</html>

Take like a tag board script for instnace. Kinda something like the posting thing.

I probably dont even have the right code :bemused:

If you want to make it permanent you'll have to store it. Use a database or write it to a file.

How would I do it without SQL. It seriously hates me SQL I swear >.> Ive seen tons of stuff do this sort of thing without using sql.

LordShryku

Write it to a file. If it's going to get big though, go with SQL.

I don't know how to "write something to a file"
