The implementation of a guestbook can be a good way of getting feedback about your website.

This page outlines the requirements and features of our, free, website guestbook facility. Our guestbook code captures several details. These are:
  • Name of the person leaving the comment that was entered.
  • Email address that was entered.
  • The actual comment that was entered.
  • Date and time that the entry was added.
  • The IP Address of the computer that entered the comment.
  • The page that the guestbook entry was entered from.
This information is captured and stored in a SQL table.

The majority of the code is written in PHP, however, there is also some HTML and one JavaScript script.

We have a zip file that contains all of the collateral available here.

For details on how to implement this code, please refer to the PDF linked at the top right of this webpage.

There are several pre-requisites for the implementation of the code these are:
  • An SQL type database (i.e. MySQL) This is for holding the guestbook comments etc. Normally this should be part of the webhosting platform that you are using.
  • PHP needs to be available (This also should be part of the webhosting platform).
  • The ability to run JavaScript (for the updating of the database)
  • All files should be file transferred to your web server.
  • All files must be in the same folder/directory
