    Kinda like a forum but not....

    Can I have a section of my page where people can type input into a form and have it upload to my server and post on the page of my site so everyone can see it? Kinda like a forum but just one page. Kinda like a guestbook too I guess, but I just want a form for the name and input. Thanks. You guys rock!!

    If you take a look at the source, it should be somewhat obvious.

    All the code at the top stays there; you can change the below, or just add your code in after it.

    Code:
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
       "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Guestbook</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>
    Then, the next part stays there, and you can add anything else you want just before this:

    Code:
    </body>
</html>

    I copied that script to my page and made a seperate file called guestbook.text and put the .php extension on the main page, but it still doesn't work. Please post step by step procedures to making it work. I know absolutely nothing about php but am willing to learn if given the chance. Please help. Thanks.
