Hi,

I've been experimenting with my limited PHP skills and I have rewritten my guest book. Could you take a look and tell me what you think? It's at www.james-greenwood.co.uk/scripts/guestbook/. There's a link on that page to the sample guest book that I have uploaded.

Thanks in advance,

James

I wrote the original guest book in about five minutes and I had no intention of having any features such as emoticons. I didn't nick the code from anywhere else -- I wrote it all from scratch in PHP I had learnt from the official website (www.php.net).

Khalid did not write the script for me whatsoever. The new script was, again, written from scratch. The disclaimer was a standard one, modified from another site's disclaimer page.

I did sign your guest book (which you know) before I made my new incarnation but I tried to make it as user-friendly to use as possible. I think the layout is pretty logical, there is the name of the person who posted (which links to their e-mail address), the date they posted and their comments.

The colour scheme I modelled from this site but I wouldn't really call it a colour scheme; I just made the background of the tables a yellow-ish colour.

Sorry, yes, he did and I forgot about that. But this new script was written from scratch. When I wrote the first script I didn't really know what I was doing with PHP but now I'm a lot better at it.

I promise I did. In fact, I even commented most of the code too. If you go to the web page (www.james-greenwood.co.uk/scripts/guestbook/) you can download a tiny 6K zip file with the code in it. Have a look and you'll see what I mean. :)

already have, but i know my self how easy it is to put a scipt together buy using resources such as PHP.net and simple pasting snipets of code into your script. i wouldnt really call that writing my own code, only if most of it was done from memory, but ppl have different views

well done n e ways

Regards, Jamie McCoy
