Hmm,

Ok, i made news comments for my news scripts (on some sites i got)
But i don't like them,
Why?

Because....well i don't know why, but im sure there is a better way then i do it.

So could anyone like...some me (if you have made) a comment system for your news?

Just so i can get ideas?

Also,
Could anyone help me to get the SESSION names of the phpBB FORUM

I'd say dont waste yer time creating database format and things like that for just news... u can make php write news to a file.. i've never actually tried it but i think it might work...

Oh no, never. I know you can do that, but i think its the worst.
I have to write it into a database, so i can use it for other stuff and etc.

I wrote a news script when I was first learning php that writes to text files. it is still possible to use them for other stuff... just more annoying than it would be if a database was used

after thinkin bout it a little more i think yer right writing to a file isn't a good idea... I say create a new news table containing text,time,date,sender
and everytime u send a new news the date and time will automaticaly be sent and the sender will be the name of the account yer signed in as... i dun think u can have a better news script than that...
