I created a php code! I made a guestbook. Rather than find a guestbook code and figure it out, I decided to read some tutorials and make my own. I did it and it works and I now have my own guestbook!
It's not the best in the world, it's only very, very basic. I'm going to improve it eventually, but I just started reading php tutorials yesterday. I think it's good for a day of learning.
Where can you get some good practice and tutorial for php coding. I know HTML but I'm hoping to learn php codes in the near future. I've been reading about php and I've learn that its a very dynamic code which is really cool IMO.
When I coded my guestbook, I was actually looking at several tutorials. I'd google for tutorials and look at a few, when they all did something similar and had the same bit of code, i knew that's what did it. I've noticed that many, many php tutorials are horribly non-descriptive. Most just show a working code and say what the entire thing does. Not really a tutorial, if you ask me. Maybe I'll write some when I learn a bit more.

As soon as I saw that little wazzup box pop up, I knew you guys were doing more stuff to see what I did wrong. :P
Thank you, though. I'll look at what you guys have shown me and learn a bit more.
Thanks for the comments and the help.
As soon as I get the guestbook good, project 2 is going to be a text-based game.
Still has annoying javascript popups. It's a nice little script and stuff. Now work on adding anti-spam measures and that whole blank and html issues. Other then that great job. I need to get back into PHP
/**

function sanitize($value, $strip_crlf = true)
{
// Some of what we have in the $search array may not be needed, but let's be safe.
$search = array(

// Make sure we get everything..
$value = strip_tags($value);
return clean($value);
}

function clean($value)
{
if (is_array($value))
{
foreach ($value AS $key => $val)
{
if (is_string($val))
{
$value["$key"] = trim(stripslashes($val));
}
else if (is_array($val))
{
$value["$key"] = clean($value["$key"]);
}
}
return $value;
}
return trim(stripslashes($value));
}

I prefer htmlentities than stripping tags, btw.
i did it...
