very proud of this - I love it

It is for me. So I just won't post empty. But its not hard to check for that. I'll put it in sometime.

if (!isset($_POST['title'])) {
echo "Put in a title, bitch!";
exit;
}

I would check for empty string values. $string = "" is considered "set", it only checks to see if the variable is existing.

Just check if the string is empty: if ( $_POST['title'] == "") { do something }

if(!isset($_POST['title']) || $_POST['title'] == "") {

do something
//everyone wins today =]

}

You can do that, but if you $_POST an empty variable it will exist, it will just be blank. isset() is checking for NULL or a variable that hasn't been initialized. But when you hit submit it initialises the post variable regardless if there is anything in it.

Good point. Thanks for pointing that out. I think I might install a profanity filter, too. Should be fun. Working on scripts that are already there is so much easier than trying to make one. :D

*edit - Some updates. Name is now optional. Date is auto-included. You have to fill in a post and a title. Yippy-kay-yay! I'm going to mess with presentation now I think. In some nice table with formatting or something. I dunno. :D
