Should you use it?

I think that this guestbook is among the best in the Simple / PHP / Free / File-based category. However, you are welcome to explore alternatives.

Installation:

Important: most recent version of this guestbook (last modified on 31 Jan 2010) is available only here.

Download guestbook.zip and upload to your server and unzip. There will be 3 files:

1. 'mygb.php' in which you have to personalize few variables;
2. 'gb-exec.php' which adds new comments to guestbook and generates 'gbcontentfile.php' with the first entry;
3. 'guestbook.php' which is the main file that you can personalize further by editing it. You should have some php/html skills for this.
4. 'bips.php' (BlockedIP'S) file will be generated once you block an IP address.

Link from your website pages to the guestbook using the style of your choice. Link will look like this: http://mydomain.com/guestbook.php?i=3
