PHP Shoutbox - help

hey, for anyone that knows php and could give me a hand...

First of all i know absolutely no php :( but i do know html. I want to use the shoutbox code from Paavo's site http://www.astudios.org/2004/index.php?hau=shout_box but i have no idea what im doing lol

it would be awesome if someone could walk me through it and explain such things as chmod-ing a folder(??)

thx

Copy and paste the code from his site (make sure you follow the note on the bottom of the page). Save it to a PHP file and upload that to your host. Then, in the directory where that PHP file resides, create a folder "shout" and put a text file "shouts.txt" in it. Then make a folder "smileys" and put the corresponding smileys in it. In your FTP program, there should be an option to CHMOD files and folders, check out the help files of the program. CHMOD it to 0777, or check Read, Write, Execute for Owner, Group and World (depending on how your FTP program works). Don't use Internet Explorer to FTP stuff.

After all that, just put an iframe in your main page and have it point to the PHP file.
