Your page is called example.html posting to example.php

It needs to be example.php posting to example.php

    Hmm, I just tried renaming the main file to example.php, and it worked less. Oh well. I have no clue what I'm doing. It seems no tutorial online gives you the full information either.

    Thanks anyway guys...

      there would be plenty of tutorials around, you just might need to addapt them a little. try doing a google for a php guestbook or shoutbox, then go from there.

        One more question: where are the comments stored?
        I mean in a database, or some textfile, ...?

          Generally, I don't recommend posting to the same page. Eventually you'll have a page that gets too bogged down with code.

          I prefer to have an intermediate page that does the "work" of posting data to your database (or text file, etc.). That intermediate page then redirects the user back to the page they came from. It's similar to the way it's done here at phpbuilder.

          Just my $.02...

            Buzzly,

            Your color picker is pretty damn nifty.

                    Thanks! From now on, I'm going to charge $1.99 per use, and $99 for downloa -- oh, dammit. Too late 🙂

                    I may put a PayPal link on there in case anyone wants to donate to the cause, but I'll never charge for it 🙂

                      I have no idea where it saves. Nowhere I presume, since I don't know what I'm doing. I go have something called MySQL or something installed on my server but I have no clue how to utilize it for a database. I've attempted several tutorials, but they don't contain enough basic knowledge for me to follow and comprehend them...

                      ~ Chris

                        You need to buy 2 books then.

                        1 about MySQL and 1 about PHP.

                        I recommend SAMS Teach yourself MySQL in 24 hours, and CORE PHP Programming, revised for PHP5

                          are you looking to store the comments, or just email the results to you?

                              The word you want to search on is "bork". Long story.

                                Dalecosp provided the initial code for replacing vowels with accented equivalents, with his blessing to do as I wanted with it. I expanded on it a bit, and wrapped it up in the Børkínätør® app.

                                I have no problem giving credit where credit is due 🙂
