PHP code when a link is clicked a new page opens up w/o user interference?

[Jose Garza]

I am fairly new at web developement so try to stay with me. I am looking for a php code that will open up and save a new webpage from one of the templates that I have on my server when a hyperlink is clicked. For example, if I click on a hyperlink that says "post", a new page opens up getting the template from my server and saving it on my server as "post 1". If the "post" button is clicked again, then the same thing happens but this time it saves it as "post 2". Let me know if this is understandable. And if you have any questions please let me know. I am desperate for help. I want to create this site so that my students can post their comments online where I can view them from my house.

Thank you

First of all you should do this with a database and post the comments to a table.

If you are using a file? why not use one file and just append each comment to the end of the same file so that your file will contain all comments in ascending order.

If you absolutely do need separate files for each comment,why go through the trouble of calculating the next number when you can just save the file name as a timestamp and a random number.

Lastly, we do not just "code" for you. You need to begin writing the code and ask us specific questions about the code. Otherwise we can only give you general direction (most of the time, unless someone's got some free time and is feeling Generous) like this:

1. Create a new file
2. Write the comment that was posted to it.

The PHP manual (http://www.php.net/manual/en/) is a great start!
