Hey guys, I’m having a bit of trouble here. Im a total php newb, and all attempts to customize the following script have failed. Horribly. The script gives this [URL=http://thefunklounge.com/comicz/post.php]form
[code=php]<?
// This is the first PHP work I’ve ever released publicly, so if
// you’ve got complaints or insults, please be gentle. ^_^
// As for some actual usage notes… I’ve made it so that you can
// enter anything into the post, and it’ll work. That includes
// double- and single-quotation marks. You can also have fun with
// back-slashes and all that other crap. You don’t need to insert
// HTML for <p>, because I’ve programmed the script to automatically
// turn any and all carriage returns into <p>’s for you. Have fun!
// Oh, and make sure you CHMOD your /news/ directory to allow for
// Public Writing. Don’t worry, the public won’t be writing to your
// news directory… this is just necessary for the post to work.
