Live chat script

[newmand2]

I am trying to create a live chat script. I know there are ALOT about and for free, but I'd like a go at developing my own. I have the form etc but I have two main questions:

Is the form action '_SELF' or something similar?
How do I save the input text to a remote file to call back later as the output?

Thanks, help greatly appreciated

write to file:

<?php
$file = fopen($my_file,"w");
fputs ($file, $_POST["data"]);
fclose($file);
?>

<?php $PHP_SELF?>

ps. those are down and dirty, not including error checking, etc.
