This is my third project. Again for the sake of doing less work I uploaded it instead of pasting it.

Good job there man, that actually a simple script and I was amazed that it worked with only few lines.
Well done!

May I suggest you a change in your writting style.

Your script

PHP Code:
<?php
$message=$_POST["message"];
$name=$_POST["fname"];
?>
<?php
$file=fopen("mboard.txt","a");
fwrite($file,$name);
fwrite($file,": ");
fwrite($file,$message);
fwrite($file,"<br><br>");
fclose($file);
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
window.location = "http://nevets04.comoj.com/board.php"
//-->
</script> 

A bit better looking

PHP Code:
<?php
$message=$_POST["message"];
$name=$_POST["fname"];

$file=fopen("mboard.txt","a");
fwrite($file,$name);
fwrite($file,": ");
fwrite($file,$message);
fwrite($file,"<br><br>");
fclose($file);

echo <<<HTML
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
window.location = "http://nevets04.comoj.com/board.php"
//-->
</script>
HTML;

?>

Thanks, the only thing I'm worried about is once a lot of people post, loading time is going to really long.

Yeah that can become a real pain.
If you don't switch to MySql, you can create new file for every post and allow only limited amount of characters (255 - 500).
The you can limit the load by addin Pagination (it's pretty simple), and just load 5 posts per side...
If you also use more files and not just one, you can easy delete specified posts.

But I gone bit too far, are you planing to make this better or is it just a learning project?

Thanks for the REP

More just a learning project, but I still appreciate the help if I ever need to use this (which I probably will)

Nice script Smile

!

But, be careful !
When you display the messages, don't forget htmlentities !
You will be victim of XSS if you don't use that.

PS : You can concatenate string and variables like this, if you want :

PHP Code:
fwrite($file, $name . ": " . $message . "<br><br>");
