I made a basic comment system combining and customizing a few php tutorials. One thing I want to change is when you post a comment it takes you to a completely different page. I want the page to stay the same and some blue or red text (ill take care of the color i just need the basic function) to appear at the bottom of the form with the confirmation message or error message can someone edit this and tell me what to do?

<?php
$user = $_POST["name"];
$website = $_POST["website"];
$message = $_POST["message"];
print("Your Comment has been added! ");
$out = fopen("shout.php", "a");
if (!$out) {
print("For some reason your comment couldn't be added..");
exit;
}
fputs ($out,implode,("\n"));
fwrite($out,"<b>$user</b><br />$website<br />$message<br /><br />");
fclose($out);
?>

thx in advance also link to my comment system http://ample-hosting.com/tutorials at the bottom

nice. but when it redirects you to the page with "your comment has been added" why dont you redirect it back to the index or original page or something instead?

not to sure how to go about doing what your asking though sorry

when you comment if you want the page to post to the page you are currently on you can do...

<form action="<?php echo "$php_self"; ?>" method="post">

but then you'd also of course need to include all the stuff on the page it was posting to on the comment page now.
