Website: How do I let people post comments under articles? ( 2 Views )

1. I want something very similar or equal to this websites system. http://derstandard.at/?url=/?id=2418606
   
   Sorry its not in english, but you can see that once the article is on the website anyone can post comments about the article below it, kind of like a forum but not?
   
   How can I do something similar to this on my website?
   
   Thanks.

2. Do you have PHP and MySQL or equivelant technology available? If so, you can simply put a form at the bottom and let people type in a comment and add it to the database. Then your website simply loads all of the commends.

   If he is asking that question I seriously doubt he knows what that means :p Kris is right though, the easiest way to do this would be using a small database like MySQL and learning some PHP programming. EIther way, let us know your current knowledge on the subject as we may be able to help you a bit more.
   
   If you are completely new to webdesign .... you have a long way to go. If you are familiar with atleast a few different programming languages then you should be able to pick it up fairly easily.

4. Careful with security and comment boxes, SQL injections are a real pain in the ass.
   
   I learned the hard way, but now I spend more time on those little damn boxes. :-)

5. Even though, in most ways, Oracle PL/SQL is less than ideal for web-app programming, unless you're dynamically generating your SQL statements, you don't have to worry about injection since your SQL is compiled before strings are inserted. What other popular web/scripting languages that give you this?

   ASP. ASP.NET. PHP. ISAPI in C/C++. CGI in C/C++. CGI with Perl. But those are only the ones I can think of right now.
   
   Some of them (like ASP.NET and C/C++ ISAPI) allow for binding to dynamically created SQL, even.

7. You can do it in PHP? Granted, all the PHP I've done used MySQL, but it seemed the only way to do it there was to pass queries as strings.

   Yep, using mssql_bind if you're using SQL Server; or using mysqli_bind_param if you're using MySQL.

9. Ahh... was added in PHP5, that's why I hadn't noticed it.

10. Why don't you just install a content management system like Movable Type or Wordpress? Either of these are wayyy plug and play compared to writing your own system, and they provide the functionality you're looking for and then some.
    
    They're also highly extensible, and in Movable Type's case (havent used wordpress) modular and very easy to get how you want via templates.
