at 5:25, where tha hell did you come out with "/youtube/comments.php"?????!!­!

[ZloolS]

@Turokcito2 "/youtube/" means a folder called "youtube" and "comments.php" is the file I am writing to.

[Turokcito2]

@ZloolS so, do you need to create an empty flie or something?

[ZloolS]

@Turokcito2 Yes, I forgot to mention that in the video but you need to create an empty file called "comments.php" that will be written to.

when i type message and hit submit button it gives me this ....

Name: " .$name. "

Comment:

" .$message. "

"; fwrite($fp, $outputstring, strlen($outputstring)); fclose($fp); echo "Yout post was posted successfully. Click here to continue",: } ?>

[ZloolS]

You have to make it a .php file.

Ha Ha you figured out how to do this too! I set mine up a while ago using include()

What part of the code do you place on the comment box, where the comments are shown?

[harmzen]

The only time you would use this type of commenting system is for quick demo's to show clients where a commenting system would be in place. If you want to make a real commenting system use a database. This is just a quick and friendly way to make a commenting system for show purposes.

[coocool321]

@harmzen nope, not at all.

[harmzen]

By doing this, does it give each comment is own div to actually style up or what ever or?

[vincentxerxes16]

what if i want to delete the comment?

[sodzee]

I have an error!!! :O Am I supposed to include the "/youtube" folder in my version? If not, what do I replace it with!?

[Hackintosher]
