I have a small problem with mine when you go to view the entries the html code popes up also how would you delete them if there are any negative ones?

http://www.kvchosting.com/code/addentry.html - my version of your code

 

[whiteknight]

nm got it working thanks for the script

 

[Eric]

I'll edit the post in a sec. Here in a min, i'll write a page so ou can edit the guestbook etc..


-Eric

 

[whiteknight]

Is there a way how u can make it so if u wanted to delete negative entries you can do it without having to delete the .txt and re-uploading it and chmoding it?

 

[Eric]

Script Updated in First Post. Will add the edit/delete page in a lil bit.

Edit/Delete page added.

Ive got this up and running on my site (http://scoville-jenkins.com/guest_book/guestbook.php). Seems to work really well! I did add a link to the add entry page on the main page and then I added a link back to the main page on the thank you page, since those pages didnt have links back already. And I also aint got the edit page up since I wasnt quite sure how to work it lol.:p Anyways... as I said, works great! Thanks SV!:D

 

[whiteknight]

AJ how did u get it so that you can click on the links rather then copy and paste them into your browser like i have done here - http://www.kvchosting.com/code/addentry.html

Hello AJ,

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. The edit page, just upload to your server, then go to http://www.yourdomain.com/path/to/edit.php Enter user and pass, then you can delete/edit entries.

Psssssst, I'm working on a SQL version.

This won't work anymore. It's an outdated code.
