The simplest way I can think of would be to make a 'messages' directory underneath your server data directory (somewhere accessible to all users of your app). You type a message into your form, and it saves a file with a unique key for the filename. Then you have a timer polling that directory for message files that haven't been seen yet, and presenting them to the user. After a day or two, another process cleans up the messages directory. You could implement this with database tables, too.
