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 25 Feb 2009) is available only here.
Download guestbook.zip and upload to your server and unzip. There will be 3 files:
-
'mygb.php' in which you have to personalize few variables;
-
'gb-exec.php' which adds new comments to guestbook and generates 'gbcontentfile.php' with the first entry;
-
'guestbook.php' which is the main file that you can personalize further by editing it. You should have some php/html skills for this.
-
'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
