Need Help Making Comment Form Script

Post by Wogan_Mike »

I am making an html webpage with two columns. The left column contains a form with name, comment, submit and reset. The right column will display the submitted comments.

I need help with:
1) configuring the form to post the PHP script,
2) writing the PHP script that will save the comments to a text file and,
3) have the contents of the text file be displayed in the right column of the page.

I realize this is a lot so any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Mike W.

I have the page and the form built. I think I use dynamic text to load the comments on the right column. Is the correct?

I don't have the needed PHP script to make it all work. I also don't know how to make the form post to the PHP script or load the comments into the dynamic text.

If you could help me with these issues or point me to a tutorial or something I would greatly appreciate it. I am building a website for my 10 month old cousin who has cancer.

Thanks again,
Mike W.

What is your skill level at PHP? If you post threads about specific issues you are encountering, we can often help. We can talk about the theories behind all the creation too, if you'd like. But if you want it all done for you, it probably won't happen without you asking for a volunteer or posting a job.

My PHP skill level is very limited. Infact it's pretty much 0. I'm not looking for someone to do it for me but rather point me to a tutorial or something. I will definately post this in this theories board so we can discuss it more.

Thanks again for all the help,

Start here. Get familiar with PHP and then go here.
