Shoutbox Mod ~ Finished. :) [[Also converts BBcode]]

Excuse me if this has been posted before. xD But I have a mod which I've just made. It's really simple, just a new database and a page, so tell me if you find any errors.
Run this SQL query:

Code:

CREATE TABLE  `yoursite_adopts`.`adopts_shoutbox` (

`id` INT( 10 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,

`user` VARCHAR( 50 ) CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci NOT NULL ,

`date` VARCHAR( 20 ) NOT NULL ,

`comment` VARCHAR( 10000 ) CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci NOT NULL ,

PRIMARY KEY (  `id` )

) ENGINE = MYISAM

Now make a file called 'shoutbox.php' with these contents...

PHP Code:

It works. :) Guests will post as "Guest". You can, of course, edit the code a bit so only members may post.

EDIT: PLEASE READ Sea's post below this. Shoutboxes take quite a lot of server load. I don't know much about it, but Sea does, so listen to her. :)
