@NogDogFeb 19.2006 — #Yes, it's very possible with PHP, preferably along with a database (such as MySQL). It's not trivial - nor is it rocket science - but I suspect you can find many open-source scripts out there that you could use as-is or with a bit of tweaking. You might want to browse hotscripts.com, sourceforge.net, etc. for one that has the features you need. @NogDogFeb 19.2006 — #I did say "preferably" with regards to using a database. You [i]could[/i] just append the data to a text file, then include that file at the point where you want it displayed on your page. If I were designing it, though, I'd probably use a database due to the increased flexibility and functionality it would give me. (If I want to change what gets displayed in what order, I can just change one line of SQL code and not have to worry about changing the text file.)@NogDogFeb 19.2006 — #Found this with about 30 seconds of searching/browsing at hotscripts.com:

PHP message script
For a news article website I require a debate function at the bottom of every article page. This needs to have a ‘Screen Name’ field, an ‘Age’ field, a ‘Profession’ field and a 150-word limit ‘Message’ field. When a user fills in these form elements and clicks on a submit button, I want all the entered information to be posted after the article on that page. (I assume this will also require a page refresh function). Is this possible with a PHP script? My knowledge of PHP is very limited so any help will be greatly received!
