Okay, i need help with this... i just cant seem to figure it out. Its a simple news script. I want to be able to have a title shown on the news I add. I am using 3 scripts.
The first one is the addnews.php this is the problem child... Heres the code:
Hope it isnt too long. :confused2 :confused2 . The other code is the place where it is actually shown. It calls the news from news.txt.
They ARE inside HTML document... it took up too much room with the head parts there, so i removed them. Please, if you can figure it out, tell me why it doesnt print a title! THNX!!!!
