Hey, I need a way for my teachers to post ‘notes’ on the site I am making for the school… I don’t need the registration option for now, just a ‘mini forum’, where they can login and post information. There can either be one username, or two, as long as only THEY can post the information…

It will be things like, homework, delays or closings, or important information.

Can someone help me out with this, or know of a way I can put this on the website?

@MauMar 18.2006 — #Sure - it sounds like you really just want a guestbook like system.

To do this, you simply setup a MySQL database with a table containing all the data. Then, design the PHP-backend that updates, selects, and inserts into this table.

Let us know if you need help with any of these individual steps.

@codym43authorMar 18.2006 — #Yeah, the thing is, I don't know a whole lotta PHP.

@MauMar 18.2006 — #Now is a great time to [url=https://webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=99565]learn[/url] then. ? The people here, I'm sure, will be glad to help you along your way.

@codym43authorMar 19.2006 — #I am learning. I need the thing now. I don't have time to learn, if I did, I would not be here.

It will take some ingenuity on your part to make this work, but it's a start to work with.

Form:

[CODE]<form name="MyForm"  method="post"
 action="<?php echo $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']?>"><input type="text" name="mypost" size="50"><input  type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit" onClick="submit"></form>[/CODE]

php submit:

[CODE]<?php
 
 
 
 
 if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
 
 $name = $_POST['name'];
 
 
 
 $fp = fopen("data.txt","a");
 
 if(!$fp) {
 echo 'Error, the file could not be opened or there was an error creating it.';
 exit;
 }
 fwrite($fp,  $mypost."n");
 fclose($fp);
 
 }
 ?>[/CODE]

php call:

[CODE]
 <?php
 
 $array = file("data.txt");
 
 sort($array);
 foreach ($array as $row) {
 rtrim($row);
 
 echo "{$row}<br>
 ";
 
 }
 
 ?>	[/CODE]

I think that might give you something to work with.

You will still need some cookie code for the user part. you can add that in by changing the write code to:

[CODE]}
 fwrite($fp,  $cookiename." - ");
 fwrite($fp,  $mypost."n");
 fclose($fp);
 
 }[/CODE]
