Alert System :D

[J-Rap]

Right. Im thinking here. I want to use php and myswl for the alert system on my site....

I want to be able to type something in a textbox click alert and everyone on the index get it...

I thinking. If it read it from an sql table. And when new text was put in the text box the old text is deleted if u get me..

U know what i mean lol

I dunno if theres any easier way ;P

Well stuck lol

That sounds ok. You want to create a page with an update form.

When the page is loaded it will query the database and populate a textarea with the text.

When submitted the data will update the database.


If it is more than just text, e.g. HTML, then you may want to checkout a Rich Text Editor to submit the HTML to the database.

Yes. But i want it so they dont have to reload the page :P

You can use javascript/ajax to refresh the content on a setTimeOut
