$post = "nn<ponmurt>n<p><span class=name>$name</span><span class=date> $date</span>
$message</p>n</ponmurt>";

//Paste the updated info into the file
$post = stripslashes($post);
fwrite($file_pointer, "$post");
fclose($file_pointer);

print "<head><meta http-equiv=refresh content=0;URL=index.php></head>";
}
