Hello peepz,this is simple tutorials to create shoutbox.

Step 1 : Create database with information :

PHP Code:

  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 ;

Step 2 : Create file config.php with content

PHP Code:

  <? 

$dbuser=""; //Database Username 

$dbname=""; //Database Name 

$dbpass=""; // Database Password 

?>

Step 3: Create File tag.php with content :

PHP Code:

  <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">

Step 4: Create file todo.php with content :

PHP Code:

  <?php 

if ($name == '' || $post == ''") 

{ 

die ("Please fill all fields. Click <a HREF=tag.php>here</a> to return."); 

} 

include('config.php'); 

$post = preg_replace("/</","&lt;",$post); 

$post = preg_replace("/>/","&gt;",$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" > 

<? 

} ?>

Step 5 : Finally,create file view.php with content :

PHP Code:

  <?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>" ; ?> 

<? 

}?>
