UNKNOWN //************************************** // Name: Annotate // Description:Very simple module to let your users post their comments on your Web pages. Does not require SQL. Does require a writeable directory. by Steve Yelvington // By: PHP Code Exchange // // // Inputs:None // // Returns:None // //Assumes:None // //Side Effects:None //************************************** <? /* annotate.php3 This is a module that can be placed on any php3 page to allow users to add their comments. The comments are stored in a file in the current directory, whose name is constructed by adding ".comment" to the calling page's name, and merged into the calling page dynamically. (The calling page is not modified.) I wrote this because I wanted a simple way to add this functionality to my pages without requiring that mySQL be available. In the message input, blank lines are converted to paragraph tags. No other conversions are applied. If you don't want your users to be able to input html, uncomment the "strip_tags" line. Note that the directory must be writable by the web server. Put this module in some convenient location and then embed it in your pages like so: require("/some/full/path/annotate.php3"); or, relative to the docroot: require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "/relativepath/php3"); Steve Yelvington <steve@yelvington.com> */ if ($message) { /* uncomment the next two lines to strip out html from input */ /* $name = strip_tags($name); */ /* $message = strip_tags($message); */ $message = ereg_replace("\r\n\r\n", "\n<p>", $message); $date = date("l, F j Y, h:i a"); $message = "<b>$name </b> -- $date<p> $message <br><hr>"; $fp = fopen (basename($PHP_SELF) . ".comment", "a"); fwrite ($fp, $message); fclose ($fp); } @readfile(basename(($PHP_SELF .
