With the continuous popularity of the Internet, more and more people are beginning to use the Internet to obtain information. In this context, the bulletin board on the website has become an important information transmission channel. In this article, we will introduce how to use PHP to implement an online bulletin board.
1. Set up a PHP environment
First, we need to set up a PHP environment locally. Generally speaking, we can download and install the AMP suite (Apache MySQL PHP) or the XAMPP suite (XAMPP = Cross-platform (X) Apache MySQL PHP Perl). In this way, we can build a PHP environment locally.
2. Create a database
In order to implement an online bulletin board, we need to create a database to store bulletin information. In MySQL, we can use the following statement to create a database:
CREATE DATABASE bulletin_board
;
Then, we can create a table for the database to store bulletins information. The structure of the table is as follows:
CREATE TABLE bulletin
(
id
int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
title
varchar (255) NOT NULL,
content
text NOT NULL,
time
datetime NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id
)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
This table contains four fields, namely id, title, content and time. Among them, id is the unique identifier of the announcement, title and content are the title and content of the announcement respectively, and time is the release time of the announcement.
3. Implement the add announcement function
After creating the database, we can start writing PHP code. First, we need to implement the function of adding announcements. The process of adding announcements can be divided into two steps: first, we need to implement the form page for adding announcements; then, we need to implement the function of submitting the form and save the announcement information to the database.
1. The form page for adding announcements
The form page for adding announcements contains a form for entering the title and content of the announcement. The code is as follows:
<title>Add Bulletin</title>
<h1>Add Bulletin</h1> <form action="add_bulletin.php" method="post"> <label for="title">Title:</label> <input type="text" id="title" name="title" required><br> <label for="content">Content:</label> <textarea id="content" name="content" rows="10" required></textarea><br> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form>
In this page, we use a
