Create a html form.
On submission, write the contents of the form to a file.
Once the file has been updated, refresh a section showing the new content.
Here is the code for readdata.php. Notice the @ before file_get_contents. This suppresses a warning if the file does not already exist.
<?php
foreach (explode("\n", @file_get_contents('data.data')) as $value)
{
echo $value."<br />";
}
?>
Here is the code for writedata.php. Nothing particularly clever here.
<?php
file_put_contents('data.data', $_POST['stuff']."\n", FILE_APPEND);
?>
Now to the main page. A few of important items here:
- Only $.get works in IE .load doesn't.
- $.ajaxSetup({cache: false}) is also required for IE otherwise you get all sorts of content varients coming through.
- I used the jQuery Form Plugin from http://jquery.malsup.com/form/ It saves a lot of problems.
Have fun.
