I have started to attempt to do this with my limited knowledge. I realize this looks more like 3.0 code. No problem converting it once the basics are in place.
I get it to insert the correct values into the database.
I just need to figure out how to get it displayed now :nervous:
If anyone wants to chime in...
CREATE TABLE QUERY
CREATE TABLE `shouts` (
`shoutid` bigint(255) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`shout` text,
`username` varchar(50) default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`shoutid`)
) TYPE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;
