Thanks for helping me guys. I have another question.
In my previous question I asked how to make the textbox message to show at the top of page after form submission.
I managed to do this thanks to you guys.
Next question is how to make this happen at least 8x times? 

 <?php

 include('header1.php');

 if(isset($_POST['submit']) && $_POST['submit']=='Submit'){
 message=$_POST['message'];
$name=$_POST["name"];
echo "<center>";
echo "<div>" . $name . "<br />" . $message ."</div>"; 
echo "</center>";


    if(isset($_POST['submit']) && isset($_POST['prevmsg']) &&      isset($_POST['prevname'])){

    echo "<center>";
    echo $_POST['prevname'];
    echo "<br/>";
    echo $_POST['prevmsg'];
    echo "</center>";   
 }

    You can use a for loop. I also cleaned up your code as you had some syntax errors. Since you’re reusing the form, you probably want to make it a function.

    <?php

  include('header1.php');

  function myForm( $name, $message ) {
?>
<form method="POST" action="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="prevmsg" value="<?php echo $message; ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="prevname" value="<?php echo $name; ?>" />
<table>
  <tr>
    <th><label for="name">Name</label></th>
    <td><input type="text" name="name" id="name"></td>
 </tr>
  <tr>
    <th><label for="message">Message</label></th>
    <td><textarea name="message" id="message"></textarea></td>
 </tr>
</table>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<?php

  }

  if( isset($_POST['submit']) && $_POST['submit'] == 'Submit' ) {
    $message = $_POST['message'];
    $name = $_POST["name"];

    for($i = 0; $i < 8; $i++) {
    echo "<center>";
    echo "<div>" . $name . "<br />" . $message ."</div>"; 
    echo "</center>";
    }

    if( isset($_POST['submit']) && isset($_POST['prevmsg']) && isset($_POST['prevname']) ) {
    echo "<center>";
    echo $_POST['prevname'];
    echo "<br/>";
    echo $_POST['prevmsg'];
    echo "</center>";   
    }


?>

<html>
<body style="position:center">
<?php myForm( $name, $message ); ?>
</body>
</html>

<?php

    }
    else {  

   ?>
<html>
<body>
<?php myForm( NULL, NULL ); ?>
</body>
</html>
<?php

    }

  include('inc/footer.php');
?>
