Php Guestbook

[scopeweb]

Hi Folks,

I'm looking for a simple (spam free) php guestbook to place into a ready made site. Guestbook should have admin also, to approve entries etc, but doesn't require MySQL

Any ideas?

Thanks in Advance

Ouch. Those are high requirements. I could do one for you, PM me for more info. Note: It'll come with a price.

cx409 how is what he is asking for high requirements, they are basic features on a guestbook now.

To stop spam all that needs to be done is use something like a captcha image when submitting. Also have something like a check to ensure that ip has not posted within the last x seconds which will eradicate flooding.

The approve entries is simply another field in the database for arguments sake called 'approved'. When displaying the entries all is needed is a where clause to show ones where that is set to 0 or false.

Lastly of course just a page in the admin page (you would do an admin page wouldnt you) which shows all the non approved messages which give links to either set as apporved or delete.

I guess you could say that. But a PHP guestbook using files (he doesn't want db)? ...And he needs it in 48 hours.

So why don't you want it to use a database?

Probably doesn't have access to a db or just doesn't wanna use one, but yah, that'd be a simple job.

I would have made him one but I am not that good at using files as databases. My best work gowes with MySQL.

You could always try using packages such as:-
