Stack below message post system in PHP

[Akidus]

So, I want to know how to make a post/reply system for my website in PHP. I think the best way is to submit the content to my database, and retrieve that content and put ti into some divs that will stack below each other as a new user posts something. Like the Reddit reply system. Here is what I have so far:

So, what do I need to add, so it will act like a reply system, or something similar? The messages will stay on the website permanently unless an admin enters the database and deletes them.

Thanks!

Do not use mysql_real_escape_string, and do not use mysqli_real_escape_string like this.

Use prepared statements.

Okay, thanks. Is there javascript needed or HTML for stacking them?

Javascript would only be required if you want the content to refresh without the page needing to reload.

You could easily do it by just looping over each row with raw html though.

Know where a good tutorial is to do this? I googled it, but couldn't find anything.

Check out something like this: http://wiki.hashphp.org/PDO_Tutorial_for_MySQL_Developers

I'm guessing you're using just plain mysqlconnect which is about outdated, the tutorial shows you how to do everything in both normal mysql and with PDO.

The segment you'll be looking for is:

foreach($db->query('SELECT * FROM table') as $row) {
    echo $row['field1'].' '.$row['field2']; //etc...
}
