Re: Please help!!! Trying to write some chat script!

I made a chatboard script that i use on two websites (http://nayco.free.fr , http://luxregina.free.fr ) One thing important to know is that you MUST NOT use a text file : When two people write together, messages are scrambled and the script displays wierd things .... ----> use SQL, as it's faster, easier to use, and has got no 'lock' problem ... If you want my script ..... tell me !!
