ASP to PHP conversion

We have a simple message board written in classic ASP using a MYSQl database. We need two programs of this rewriting in PHP. The two files are [login to view URL] [login to view URL] I have included these files in the zip file attached to this project along with the stylesheet and table structure for the database. The actual layout of the page must stay intact. Only the scripting sections need rewriting. The project will be considered complete when both the above scripts work fine in PHP
