Shout Box
You need a shoutbox script 
Either download and install one on your account or use the code given by an externally hosted one. search google for both types.

If you want a shoutbox in mySQL i've made a script..
put this script where you want to have the shouts printed:
set the form action to the file wich contains this:
in mysql you need these:
id, name, weburl, and shout... (in the database..)
id have to be set to auto_increment (on the extra place) and primary ke..
set name to varchar about 30 in length
weburl to varchar about 50 in length
and set shout to longtext.
put this script where you want to have the shouts printed:
| Code: |
| <?php
$username="username"; $password="password"; $database="database"; mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password); @mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database"); $query="SELECT * FROM shout ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 0,5"; $result=mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); $num = mysql_num_rows($result); mysql_close(); $i=0; while ($i < $num) { $name=mysql_result($result,$i,"name"); $weburl=mysql_result($result,$i,"weburl"); $shout=mysql_result($result,$i,"shout"); ?> <hr> Name: <? print('<a href="$shout">$name</a>');?></a><br> Shout:<br> <? print("$shout");?> <? $i++; } ?> |
set the form action to the file wich contains this:
| Code: |
| <?
$username=""; $password=""; $database=""; $navn = $_POST['name']; $web = $_POST['weburl']; $mail = $_POST['shout']; mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password); @mysql_select_db($database) or die("error selecting mySQL database."); $query = "INSERT INTO `gjestebok` (`id`, `name`, `weburl`, `shout`) VALUES ('', '$name', '$weburl', '$shout')"; $result=mysql_query($query); mysql_close(); ?> |
