2 how do u assign spiecific functions to a button so it is't just a link. for instance whn you whould click on a button a counter would go up by one

<input type="button" name="NAME IT" value="NAME IT" onClick="DO ACTION">
Note that the onClick function is JavaScript and a Javascript function should be specified there. Example: document.location: URL

3 im loading text form a txt file to a text box how do u make it so that there is a seperate scroll bar on the text box

Use a text area for that.

Think I just did.

That is not php... but here: <input type='textarea' col='10'> Sorry if I am wrong, if I am... Google it.

2 how do u assign spiecific functions to a button so it is't just a link. for instance whn you

whould click on a button a counter would go up by one
if($_POST['formpost']{
$variable = $_POST['var'];
$variable = $variable + 1
}else{?>
<form name='formpost' method='post'>
<input type='text' name='var'><BR>
<form type='submit' value='Submit'>
<?}?>

3 im loading text form a txt file to a text box how do u make it so that there is a seperate scroll bar on the text box

That will automatically happen with a html text area. If you are using javascript, in your string you should have scrollbars=true.

It does not work. There are multiple errors in there - around five programming mistakes which would definitively didn't make it work. Simply writing the code in the NG BBS message area requires the necessary programming skills. Better use a PHP editor next time.

Here's an improved version:

<?PHP

if ( isset($_POST['formpost']) )
{

$variable = ( isset($_POST['var']) + 1 );
echo $variable;
exit;
}

else
{
?>
<form name="formpost" method="post">
<input type="text" name="var"><BR>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<?PHP

}

?>

It may be messy programming, but that script works for me.

No, it will not.

Your code further explained:

Error: Where the <?PHP-tag?
if($_POST['formpost']{ Error: Missing ")" - PHP returns error
$variable = $_POST['var'];
$variable = $variable + 1 Error: Missing ";" - PHP returns error
}else{?>
<form name='formpost' method='post'>
<input type='text' name='var'><BR>
<form type='submit' value='Submit'> Error: Form should be input
Error: Missing </form> tag.
<?}?>

Hope that explains some things. :)

Sorry... I didn't proof my code. Even when my code works, it can be messy... but people normally understand what it does.

That's a bit naive, to think like that. Submitting a messy code where you're not even sure it works is a lazy idea. You don't prove anything.
