Karir Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Hey! I am making a comment system for my blog I'm making. The way I want it, is that when a comment is posted, it grabs the id of the post it's referring to, then creates a file called comment(POST ID HERE).txt.. I have that down, however I cannot for the life of me figure out how I can make it an increment, so it can make no more than 500, but everytime a comment is posted it will keep making the files go up like: comment1.txt comment2.txt comment3.txt Etc... Thanks very much, happy holidays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shlumph Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 The way I want it, is that when a comment is posted, it grabs the id of the post it's referring to, then creates a file called comment(POST ID HERE).txt.. That means that a post will only be able to have one comment. Is that really what you want? however I cannot for the life of me figure out how I can make it an increment, so it can make no more than 500 With the way you're doing things, you're going to have to keep a designated file with a number in it, and increment it when a comment is posted. Or iterate the folder and count how many comment files there are. Why not just use MySQL for everything? You could have a posts table and a comments table. And have it be a one to many relationship.
