Commenting feature on a website?

[MrMiyagi]

Hi,

I was wondering what would be the easiest way to add a commenting feature to a website? It would be a simple article with a possibility to comment on the bottom of the text. I understand that php/javascript needs to permanently write changes to the html, meaning that it needs to make the written comments visible to everyone.

I know that this is not just a small explanation, but perhaps someone would know a link to good tutorial or something to get me started with?

thank you.

do you know how to work with databases.

because i feel that using a database is the easiest method.

unless of course you want to use one of the cms systems like wrdpress or drupal, joomla etc.

It doesn't need to make permanent changes to the existing page, maybe just have it include the comments.

Yes a DB would be the easiest way to do it. Alternatively you could have a text file that stores the comments and read from that.

There is no 'easiest way to add a commenting feature to a website' when you begin to think about whether you would allow anonymous or user authenticated posting, whether you would require CAPTCHA, user and/or IP blocking, and comment moderation. You can't just turn your site over to anyone that wants to publish their own material on it.

For these reasons, most folks use a CMS that already has these issues covered.

the easiest way is to use wordpress or some other comment-enabled blog.
remember you do not need to use a blogging engine to blog: it is ideally suited to things like articles and to be a simple (but highly extensible) content management system for a web site.

Strictly the easiest would be probably HaloScan or a similar one.
