Simple Shoutbox? I only know the echo part of php...

Joshthegreat · March 2, 2005

Well, does anyone have a nice simple shoutbox php code? It's just I've been looking for one for a while but they all seems to have millions of files attached with them and everything. Just wondering if theres anything simpler out there?

Look at http://www.hotscripts.com/, I think you will find what you need!

awwr thanks dude...you answered my question as well

Here's one I made myself, if you still need it:

<form method="POST" action="comment.php">Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br>Message:<br><textarea name="message" rows="10" cols="45"></textarea><br><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Post Message"><input type="reset" value="Reset"></form>

This is the input box, you can put this wherever you want. Also, name the file "comment.php" or change the form action.

<?php$submit = $_POST['submit'];if($submit == true){        $filename = 'comment/comments.html';        $name = $_POST['name'];        $name = stripslashes($name);        $name = strip_tags($name);        $time = date("\P\o\s\\t\e\d \o\\n l F jS Y \a\\t g:i:s A");        $message = $_POST['message'];        $message = stripslashes($message);        $message = strip_tags($message, '<b><i><u>');        $comment = "<tr><td width=\"100%\"><i><b>From:</b></i> $name</td></tr><tr><td width=\"100%\"><i><b>$time</b></i></td></tr><tr><td width=\"100%\"><i><b>Message:</b></i><br>$message<br><div><hr width=\"50%\"></div></td></tr>\n";        $handle = fopen($filename, 'a');        fwrite($handle, $comment);        fclose($handle);}include 'comment/comments.html';?>

This is the PHP code, it doesn't matter if it's above or below the input. You also need a directory called "comment" with a file called "comments.html" (or you can change that--it's like that because I made it on my school's server and it uses AFS for permissions).

You can see this in action at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

Thanks beeseeven,I hate to use the script from third party websites with pop-ups and ads. It is much better to have our own even though it may be simple. I wish to put this in my site. Can we also include style sheet to the shoutbox?

i have s simple script which used mysql instead.

this script makes use of a template system. if you know php then feel free to modify this to suit your need. otherwise just tell me and i will modify it for you.

if (isset($_GET['submit'])) {	$strip_var_list = array("shout_name" => "name", "shout_website" => "website", "shout_msg" => "msg");		while(list($var, $param) = @each($strip_var_list)) {  if (!empty($HTTP_POST_VARS[$param])) {  	$$var = trim(htmlspecialchars($HTTP_POST_VARS[$param]));  }	}		$shout_time = time();		$sql = "INSERT INTO shoutbox (shout_name, shout_website, shout_date, shout_msg)  VALUES ('{$shout_name}', '{$shout_website}', {$shout_time}, '{$shout_msg}')";		if(!($result = $db->query($sql))) {  die(mysql_error());	}		header("Location: shout.php?show");} elseif (isset($_GET['show'])) {	$template->set_filenames(array(  "body" => "shout-body.html")	);		$current_time = time();		$sql = "DELETE FROM shoutbox  WHERE shout_date <= " . ($current_time - 172800);		if(!($result = $db->query($sql))) {  die(mysql_error());	}		$sql = "SELECT *  FROM shoutbox  ORDER BY shout_date DESC";		if(!($result = $db->query($sql))) {  die(mysql_error());	}		while ($shout[] = $db->fetchrow($result));		if (count($shout) > 1 && ($total_shout = count($shout) - 1)) {  for ($x = 0; $x < $total_shout; $x++) {  	$template->assign_block_vars("shout_row", array(    "NAME" => $shout[$x]['shout_name'],    "WEBSITE" => $shout[$x]['shout_website'],    "DATE" => date("M-d-Y", $shout[$x]['shout_date']),    "MESSAGE" => $shout[$x]['shout_msg'])  	);  }	}		$template->pparse("body");}

you completely posted all your templates you didn't post the actual php script. maybe you should post it you wish so that he may have an idea or learn how you did it.

Joshthegreat · March 5, 2005

Wow... I forgot I had posted this. Well thanks for the amazing response. Beeseven. That simple script is exactly what I'm looking for but I'm kind of a bit weirded out by the layout. Mobious, do I need to set anything up on my Xisto host in order to use yours? You say you'll edit the template for anyone who doesnt know php..? Sounds great. But if there is anything I need to set up on the host before I can use it I need to know, sorry I'm a bit of a newbie to php and MySQL.Thanks, in advance of it all going down smoothly.

Well, I'm spoiled for choice.... Not sure which one I should take at all... Maybe if, eerm. I don't know... The ones I've seen look good. Leiaah, Is it possible that for your should box you can have the actual form not in a pop-up? And as it alos possible with yours to say only have 10shouts a page etc?

Wow... I forgot I had posted this. Well thanks for the amazing response.

Beeseven. That simple script is exactly what I'm looking for but I'm kind of a bit weirded out by the layout. Mobious, do I need to set anything up on my Xisto host in order to use yours? You say you'll edit the template for anyone who doesnt know php..? Sounds great. But if there is anything I need to set up on the host before I can use it I need to know, sorry I'm a bit of a newbie to php and MySQL.

Thanks, in advance of it all going down smoothly.

you just need to setup a new mysql table. for the template system and the db class, i'll just send mine. for the template, you are the one who will edit it. you will make it so that it will match your site.

Well, I don't know how to set up a MySQL table so I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I might go with Beesevens really simple shoutbox and customise it with CSS to make it look good.

Simple Shoutbox? I only know the echo part of php...
