How to do DJ Says. WITHOUT CUTENEWS!

[DJ=Ice]

OK, A lot of people have been asking how to do DJ Says, NOT the cutenews way. I personally hated the cutenews way. Follow the simple instructions below to make a DJ Says. This DJ Says system will be like this:

DJ Ice Says: Hey! Search ...... for the party!

Make a page called djform.php and put in the following code:

<form action="phpcode.php" method="post" name="form1" target="_self">
<p>
<label>DJ Name:
<input name="djname" type="text" id="djname">
</label>
<br> 
<label><br>
DJ Message: <br>
<textarea name="message" cols="35" id="message"></textarea>
</label>
</p>
<p>
<label>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit Message">
</label>
</p>
</form>
 

Then Customize that page to how you wish, different background color etc. Also when the DJ puts in there name they must only type the second part such as Ice not DJ Ice.

OK, now make a page called phpcode.php and insert the following:

<?php $myFile = "testFile.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
$stringData = "DJ $djname Says: $message\n";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
fclose($fh); ?>
 
<!-------Now make the rest of the page here, make sure that the code above stays at the top!--------!>

OK, now once you have used djform.php, it will lead to phpcode.php which will then create a file called testFile.txt on the same directory as all the other files above are in. You must then CHMOD testFile.txt to 666 if it isn't already done. So the DJ Says is located in testFile.txt. If your not bothered about formatting then just set testFile.txt to the DJ Message page.

Formatting:

Create a page called djmessage.php and put in the following in the body part of the page:

<?php include("testFile.txt) ?>

Then customize the page as you would normally. Then set the DJ Page to djmessage.php. Please note all the above files would work exactly how they are if in the same directory. If you want them in different directorys you will have to fiddle with the code. you MUST CHMOD the testFile.txt to 666 or it will not be writeable.

That looks good but i have not tried it. + Rep.

[DJ=Ice]

thnx, jus here to help people! lol. Anymore people like?

[splintercell!]

Is this tried and tested because imo it wouldnt work..

[GommeInc]

Wouldn't all DJs need to have access to that page which then makes it a security risk...

[DJ=Ice]

ain't that the whole point, DJ's have access to a DJ message page so they can leave a message? and lemme check wether it works.

just found out, think you need to create the testFile.txt in the same directory then let it create it itself. and chmod it to 666. tht should work, if it don't say. plus I made it and it's fine on www.habbocentre.co.uk so dno what ya on bout

[splintercell!]

I doubt it does because 1 it would just show all the messages.. you would need to put it in an array etc not just use include();

[nelly]

Lol i tried it and it doesn't show the message anywhere

[Dan Williamson]

I agree with Splintor on this one.

It doesn't look as if it's going to work.

I tested it on my tryout site and nothing happened except some weird error "/
