CSS styled Guestbook - 7/20/2005 12:53:40   
Thought I'd pass this on:

I had to add a guestbook to a client's site yesterday - I've not done this before so I went off looking for PHP scripts. Most of the ones I found were too complex or required a db backend and I just wanted something simple and styleable.

I finally found this one which is nice and simple (PHP to txt file) and totally styleable (is that a word?) I managed to integrate it into the client's page so that it looks exactly the same.

Anyway, here's the link: http://www.bzabza.com/scripts/107/

Does it use css?

I've been using eguestpro up until now which can be fully customised and is about as simple as you can get with a database.

Yep it's CSS and tableless.

It writes to a .txt file so no databases needed (I needed something really simple).

Umm actually, there is a comment, couldn't find a demo there so does it create new pages after so many messages or does the page just get bigger and bigger?

OK, ignore that. Just found the test book. :)

Daft though, it doesn't validate but it's soooooo close. Shame he doesn't fix it.

Ummmm ignore that too. He probably has fixed it. The test book is an old version. :)

Ignore me, I'm not awake.

Are you talking to yourself AGAIN Jaybee!

I think I checked validation before I'd put any entries in - so the xhtml all validated. With entries made there was the ampersand session id problem so I stuck this:

 ini_set( 'arg_separator.output' , '&' );


in at the top of the script and now it's all shiny again. Thank god for Google is all I can say.

Now I step into this forum to learn about CSS and find my name being linked to the top phrase. I am hurt:).

I try to use my incredible knowledge about all sorts of things apart from webby stuff and I am treated as though I am thick.:)

This reckless slur on my character is causing me to reconsider ............something.......

Anyway. I am leaving this area and I am NOT going to learn CSS for a long time......well a couple of days. My teacher may smack my bottom if I don't do some learning.

Anyway I would like a full unreserved apology. Well its worth an ask:)
