shoutboxes

everytime i see a shoutbox it looks the same as all the other ones ive seen. so is this a script you people are getting or is it just hand coded and everybody copies eachother? because i want one.

There are several scripts around that some people use. They're not terribly hard to code, so some people have probably created their own as well.

yes well i dont know php and i am having bad luck with google (you'd think you could find one searching for 'shoutbox script')

wow thanks mbb.

its like christmas

no prob.

for future reference, www.hotscripts.com is a really great place to get php scripts. ASP and PERL too.

thanks deker ill remember that, but right now i have an idea for a script that i doubt will be on a site-

what i want to do is everytime somebody signs the shoutbox i want to write their name and message to a seperate file, and then be able to make a seperate page that displays the entire shoutbox history. now im a total newbert to php but i know this is possible, anyone think they could help me figure out a way?
