For sample that there are three text fileds of first name, email, blog and a enter button. when person input something and enter it will show comment on the bottom of page then next person enter then show comment after first comment in same page.

I just want to learn how to write that code please help me thanks.

If you comfortable with PHP and just need to see an example of some blog code to get started, I would suggest downloading an open source blog project and looking through the source code.

I've never actually looked at this one, but judging from the title (Simple PHP Blog) it might be just what you are looking for. http://sourceforge.net/projects/sphpblog/

Good idea!
Looking at and using the way that other made code, is a good way to learn.

I would not say SimplePHPBlog is actually very simple. It has many features.
Sure there are more complicated blog scripts,
but also other that are far, far more simple.

SimplePHPBlog is one of most popular blog scripts at http://www.opensourcecms.com/

It is rated 4.82 / 5.

A really simple blog may not always use MySQL database.
But store posts/comments in flatfile, text files.

This is search for simple php blog at hotscripts. http://www.hotscripts.com/
It gave me 60 hits.

Here is a nice step by step script.
It should be a perfect way to startup a Blog application at your site.

First CREATE some tables in MySQL. Then add some page to post blog entry.

The script is all based on PHP with a bit of MySQL (to store the comments and news posts) and also we will be using some javascript for the comments system.

If you argue 'news' is not 'blog' entry ... I ask you what is the difference?
I bet you will have very hard to answer 😃

CREATE TABLE news_posts (
      id INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
      author VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
      post TEXT NOT NULL,
      DATE DATETIME NOT NULL,
      PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

To such a basic system you may want and can add more things.
But is always good to start clean and simple, and build from there.
