Answer 1

The solution is to redirect to the same page. This will work, for example. Try it.

  
  




" . $TextArea . "



\n\n"; // Add \n\n to write the comments in a different paragraph inside the file.
  $file_comments = file_put_contents( "comments.txt", $comments, FILE_APPEND );
  echo '';
}
$comments = file_get_contents( "comments.txt" );
echo $comments;
?>

Takes more time to refresh, though. The best way to do it is to have the PHP script in another file.
