I wanted a guestbook for my website but the server didn't support mySQL. So I made this. (It's not very good because I only started learning PHP last week).

Section 2: The HTML

Create an HTML file called anything you like (I called mine form.html). It should have something like this in it:

Make a PHP file called process.php and write the following:

$store = "store.dat";
if ($action == add) {
echo "Thankyou $name, Your message has been submitted

";
$opener = fopen($store,"a");
fputs($opener, "Name:
$name

Message:
$message

");
fclose($opener);
echo "To view the messages, click here";
} else if ($action == view) {
$table = join('', file($store));
echo "$table";
} else if ($action == clear) {
$opener = fopen($store,"w");
fputs($opener, "");
fclose($opener);
echo "Table cleared";
}
?>
Section 4: The DAT File

Create an empty file called store.dat. Thats it!

Section 5: Uploading and Enjoying

Upload the three files and CHMOD the DAT to 666 (-rw-rw-rw)(read all write all).
If you go to process.php?action=view, then you will be able to view the guestbook. If you go to process.php?action=clear, you will clear the guestbook.
Hope you enjoy it!
