HTML file generation with PHP.

Hi,

I would like to create the following very simple (I think) web page.
Any visitor in an text field can type same text and press button
"Send". After this message of visitor have to be printed out below of
the text field (somethink like guest book). Of course I can do it like
this:

<form method="get">
<input type=text name="x" value="">
<input type=submit value="Submit">
</form>
<?php echo $x ?>

However, there are several disadvantages of this solution. I need that
all visitors are able to read messages leaved by another visitors as
well as messages leaved same time ago. So I think it is not reasonable
to save all leaved messages as values of variables. It would be better
to add messages to some existing html file. Do you know how one can do
it?

Ok. I have composed a php file (add.php) which can add a chosen by
user text to an existing html file (animal.html). However I am not
shure that it has been done in an elegant way. My problem was that
before adding some text to the html file I need remove and of this
file and that add this and again. My solution is:

======================== add.php ============================
<html>
<body>
<form method="get">
<input type=text name="x" value="" size="20">
<input type=submit value="Submit">
</form>
<?php
$filename = 'body.html';
$somecontent = $x;
fopen($filename, 'a');
fwrite($handle, $somecontent) === FALSE);
fwrite($handle,"\n <P>");
fclose($handle);
system("cat head.html > animal.html");
system("cat body.html >> animal.html");
system("cat tail.html >> animal.html");
?>
</html>

======================== head.html =============================
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#6495ED">

======================== tail.html ==============================
<FORM ACTION="add.php" METHOD="GET">
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Add message">
</FORM>
</html>

Is it good a solution? :)
