Mini Chat

I have found this nice tutorial on building a minichat module.
I manage to add the entries into the database, but somehow my
"function printMessages()" doesn't want to work.
I can't find anything in my phpinfo that refers that it's not activated.
Can anyone see why it wouldn't print?
Here is my code:

<html>
<form method="post"><br>
Login:<input type="text" name="login" size="6"><br>
Message:<input type="text" name="message" size="20"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send"><br>
</form>
</html>


<?php

function addMessage( $login, $message ) 
{
$conn= mysql_connect( "localhost", "user", "password" );
$sql = mysql_select_db( "mydatabase" );
$login = mysql_escape_string( strip_tags( $login ) );
$message = mysql_escape_string( strip_tags( $message, '<a><b><i><u>') );
mysql_query ("INSERT INTO MINICHAT ( ITSTIME, LOGIN, MESSAGE ) VALUES ( '".time()."', '".$login."','".$message."') ");

}

if ( isset( $_POST['message'] )) {
   addMessage( $_POST['login'], $_POST['message'] );
}


if ( isset( $_POST['message'] )) 
{

 function printMessages() 
{
echo "567";
$rs = mysql_query( "SELECT * FROM MESSAGE ORDER BY ITSTIME" )
or die ("ERROR2");

   while ( $msg = mysql_fetch_array( $rs )) 
{
echo date( 'h:m', $msg['ITSTIME'] )." ".$msg['LOGIN'].">".$msg['MESSAGE']."<br>";
echo $message['login']." >".$message['message']."<br>";
}
}
echo "end";
}
?>

Thanks for the help?
Here'swhat I've done so far, and I think I'm about 80% there.
I just have rpblems managing my SESSIONS.
I have a page that catch the name in a SESSION, but it doesn't print after my if statement.

<?php session_start();
 $_SESSION['custname'] = $_POST['custname'];
 $_SESSION['email'] = $_POST['email'];
 echo("<font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\"><strong>Welcome ".$_SESSION['custname'].".</strong></font>");
 ?>

<html>

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="15"> 

<table class="box" width="33%" border="1" bordercolor="#FFFFFF">
<form method="post">
  <tr bordercolor="#999999"> 
      <td><font size="2">Login:</font></td>
    <td><font size="2"> 
      <input type="text" name="login" size="10">
      </font></td>
  </tr>
  <tr bordercolor="#999999"> 
    <td height="26"><font size="2">Message</font></td>
    <td><font size="2"> 
      <input type="text" name="message" size="40">
      </font></td>
  </tr>
  <tr bordercolor="#999999">
    <td height="28">&nbsp;</td>
    <td>  <input type="submit" name ="submit" value="Send">
    </td>
  </tr>
   </form>
</table>

</html>

<?php
function addMessage( $login, $message ) {
$conn= mysql_connect( "localhost", "root", "password" );
$sql = mysql_select_db( "my_db" );
$login = mysql_escape_string( strip_tags( $login ) );
$message = mysql_escape_string( strip_tags( $message, '<a><b><i><u>') );
mysql_query   ("INSERT INTO MINICHAT ( LOGIN, MESSAGE ) VALUES ('".$login."','".$message."')");
}

if ( isset( $_POST['message'] )) 
{
   addMessage( $_POST['login'], $_POST['message'] );
}

if ( isset($submit)) 
{

$_SESSION['custname'] = $_POST['custname'];
$_SESSION['email'] = $_POST['email'];

$rs = mysql_query( "SELECT * FROM MINICHAT ORDER BY ITSTIME DESC" )
   or die ("ERROR2");

  while ( $msg = mysql_fetch_array( $rs )) 
{
echo "<br>";
echo ("<table class=\"box\" align=\"center\" width=\"50%\" border=\"2\" bgcolor=\"#0033FF\">");
echo ("<tr>");	
echo "".$msg['ITSTIME']."";
echo ("</tr>");
echo ("<tr>");
echo  "".$_SESSION['custname']."".$msg['LOGIN']."";//This is still a challenge
echo ("</tr>");
echo ("<tr>");
echo  " - ".$msg['MESSAGE']."";
echo ("</tr>");
echo ("</table>");
echo (" <br>");
}
}
?>
