BTW if you want o visually see the page it's located at
http://www.salmipropertyholdings.com/post.php

On the page you can see that I have added the ability to click on buttons and it automatically add the forum codes to the text area but after clicking submit it only sends the actual text not the code to tell it to go bold or underline...

Try:

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
  <strong>  </strong>
  <label>
  <input type="hidden" name="user" id="user" READONLY <?php if(isset($_COOKIE['ID_my_site'])){?> value="<?php echo $_COOKIE['ID_my_site'];?>" <?php }?> />
  <input type="button" value="Check Comments" onClick="window.location.href=window.location.href">
</label>

The only addition I see is

<?php }
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
header('Location: '.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
}
?>

However I am already calling this header ();

if( $suc ) {
header('Location: redirect.php?mode=redirect');

} 

which is this
redirect.php:

<?php 

$mode = $_GET['mode'];

if($mode == "redirect"){
header('Location: post.php');
exit;
}

?>

Try it - I don't know if it will work.

[Dirt_Diver]

Is this supposed to make the bold | Italic| Underline | [strike]strike[/strike] functions work?

<?php }
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
header('Location: '.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
}
?>

[Nile]

Erm. No, I did not mean to do that - replace submit with the button name that submits the announcement.

Erm. No, I did not mean to do that - replace submit with the button name that submits the announcement.

Okay I added it at the bottom and on announcement post I get a header already sent error. So I moved it to the top of the page. It didn't do anything. I can still post but the text functions don't show up on post.

Here is the script at the top of my page:

<?php
include("dbconnect");
 
if( $suc ) {
header('Location: redirect.php?mode=redirect');

}

if(isset($_POST['button'])){
header('Location: '.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
}

?>

[Dirt_Diver]

I still can't get my font adjusters to work properly.

I tried Nile's idea but it didn't work.

Kris you still around????
