Comments code?

[experience66]

I host a video website, the videos are displayed on a seprate page, underneath the video i want to allow a viewer to add a comment, which is then displayed to other users, kind of similar to yutubes, but something that is very easy to do.

thanks.

this is pretty easily accomplished.

this will require some sort of database.
Do you have access to MYSQL or sqlServer databases?

This should be your first step, setting up a connection to the database.
Then create your users table
Then create your comments[what ever you want to call it] table
add a form to your video page
collect the data from the form
store it in the database
then display the data

this is just a quick list of things that you wilil want to do.

I wrote a fairly simple script for something like this--

Note: the author of that thread called it a message board, but it was intended as a comment script.

It's not too complex... but does its simple job well. Might need a couple things fixed/customized.

Note that you need php and it must be allowed to access/change files on your server.

This uses .txt files so it's much more limited than with a database. I'd recommend that, but this is a simpler answer... your choice.
