daily bulletin

vietboy505 · Mar 7, 2006

I am new to PHP.
I want to start from stratch for a script to have box of Daily Bulletin like a shout box.

Any users can post message on the web page. Maybe like a box of daily bullentin, as time passed, it will gray out (strikethrough) like after couple of days or weeks.

There is an option of admin which can archive it, goes into a .txt file or mySQL database, or gray out. Any help would be appreciate. Thanks.

Some features:
-No registratin involved
-Any one can read/post it
-Specific password for admin
--Archive by pressing a button which embed to a TXT file or store in the mySQL database

Can I have some snipet codes to start?

Vietboy:
i had a little time this morning and have put something together to get you started.
the admin user and password is set in the body of the code but starts as being "user" and "password"
hope it helps
remember to set permissions ok in the directory where the textfiles are to be stored. the inet user (depends on OS who this is) must have read/write permissions on the files in question
sorry this code is so long!

Code:

<?
session_start();
$filename = "vietboy.csv";
$messages = array();
//first do the read
if (isset($_GET['admin'])):
	loginform();
	exit;
elseif(isset($_POST['login'])):
	$name="user";
	$pwd = "password";
	if (($_POST['name'] === $name) && ($_POST['pwd'] === $pwd)):
		$_SESSION['loggedin'] = TRUE;
		adminpage();
	endif;
	exit;
elseif (isset($_SESSION['loggedin'])):
	if (isset($_POST['archive'])):
		archive();
	endif;
	unset($_SESSION['loggedin']);
	unset($_POST);
	header("Location:".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
elseif (isset($_GET['logout'])):
	unset($_SESSION['loggedin']);
	header("Location:".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
	exit;
elseif(isset($_POST['submit'])):
	writeshout();
	unset($_POST);
	header("Location:".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
else:
	shoutbox();
endif;
