Hi,this is simple tutorials to create shoutbox. Full tutorial you can view here : http://www.t4vn.net/tutorials/showtutorials/Create-Simple-ShoutBox.html Step 1 : Create database with information : CREATE TABLE `tagboard` ( `id` int(7) NOT NULL auto_increment, `name` varchar(250) NOT NULL default '', `comments` text NOT NULL, `date` timestamp(14) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`), ) TYPE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=419 ; PHP: Step 2 : Create file config.php with content <? $dbuser=""; //Database Username $dbname=""; //Database Name $dbpass=""; // Database Password ?> PHP: Step 3: Create File tag.php with content : <iframe src="view.php" name="tag" width="179" height="130" frameborder=0 marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"></iframe><form method="POST" ACTION="todo.php"> <input type="text" NAME="name" Value=">"> <textarea NAME="post" cols="27" rows="3"></textarea> <br> <input TYPE="submit" value="Submit"> PHP: Step 4: Create file todo.php with content : <?php if ($name == '' || $post == ''") { die ("Please fill all fields. Click <a HREF=tag.php>here</a> to return."); } include('config.php'); $post = preg_replace("/</","<",$post); $post = preg_replace("/>/",">",$post); $post = nl2br($post); $comments = "$post"; } $c=mysql_connect("localhost","$dbuser","$dbpass"); mysql_select_db($dbname); $todo="INSERT INTO tagboard (id,name,comments,date) VALUES('','$name','$comments',now())"; $solution = mysql_query($todo) or die (mysql_error()); if ($solution) { ?> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=tag.php" > <? } ?> PHP: Step 5 : Finally,create file view.php with content : <?php include('config.php'); $c=mysql_connect("localhost","$dbuser","$dbpass"); mysql_select_db($dbname); $todo='SELECT * FROM `tagboard` order by id desc LIMIT 50'; $solution=mysql_query($todo); while ($place = mysql_fetch_array($solution)) { $id=$place["id"]; $comments=$place["comments"]; ?> »<b><? echo "$place[name]"; ?></b><? echo ": $comments<br>" ; ?> <? }?> PHP: You're done. Good luck:
That's not a tutorial, that's a ready-made shoutbox. A tutorial implies you actually explain what's going on (although from the look of it, I'm not sure you even know yourself?)..
