I am newbie to PHP.
I am looking for a PHP script or start from stratch that let users post message on the web page. Maybe like a box of daily bullentin, as time passed, it will gray out (strikethrough) like after couple of days or weeks.
There is an option of admin which can archive it, goes into a .txt file or mySQL database, or gray out. Any help would be appreciate. Thanks.

What you're asking for here is pretty much a pre-made application? If so, i'd reccommend
http://www.hotscripts.com or
http://www.planet-source-code.com.
If you want to write it yourself, then you're taking too big of a leap at once.

I'd suggest writing down the features you want (like you did above) and then writing down what you will need to do to achieve each feature.
Some questions to ask yourself:
Will registration be involved, or can anyone post?
Who can read the articles?
Who can admin the articles?
How will you archive them?
Will you use flat file storage or database?
After you get all that answered, rearrange your features in order of a to-do list. Start with the first thing you need to do (perhaps user registration) and then build upon that. After you get a few things done, the list starts getting shorter and shorter, and before you know it you've developed your own application!
Hope that helps you out a little bit.

No registratin involved
Any one can read it
Specific password for admin
Archive by pressing a button which embed to a TXT file or store in the mySQL database
