Accept textarea input, add that input to another html file

I am trying to put a web page together for the motorcycle group.

The group wants an area where they can post comments or for sale ads.

I want to have a page comments.html that contains all their comments. On comments.html, I will have a link "New post" that will take them to the code below.

when the user hits the submit button, I want to accept this input, write to comments.html and return the user to the comments.html page. I would prefer to do this in html ... just a rookie who messes around and was asked to do this not to mention the server space we have is extremely limited.

tks

<html>
<head>
<title>motorcycle club</title>
</head>
<body>

<p> This is the place for chapter members to post. Keep it clean post whatever you like.</p>
<form name="input" action="test.html" method="post">
<textarea rows="10" cols="30"></textarea>
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">

</form>
</body>
</html>

HTML is a static markup language. You are going to need a more active script language like PHP to allow interaction with members along with a database.

Suggest you install something like a forum and customize it as needed.

FreeForums.org
Download phpBB 3.0.2
Invision Plus

Just a few. Source List
