Usage
Extract the files to your webserver and adapt the configuration (config_main.inc.php, guestbook.css) to
your needs. The start page is guestbook.php. The script will try to create the necessary MySQL table
automatically, according to your database settings in config_main.inc.php.
This guestbook supports the following languages:

If you translate it into your language, please let me know! ;-)
There are two configuration files:
- config_main.inc.php is the main configuration file; you must adapt it to your needs
- config_local.inc.php is only used for offline testing; if you don't test offline, you don't
need to modify this file
NOTE: You should change the administrator password (config_main.inc.php) for security reasons!
Also please note that you need PHP 4.1.0 or higher with session support if you want to log in as
administrator.
In the configuration you can enable or disable the input of HTML tags, URLs, and
UBB codes. If you enable UBB or HTML,
but disable URLs, the UBB code [url] and the HTML tag <A> won't work. In order to
make them work, you have to enable URLs, too. However, you should consider that this will make your
guestbook more vulnerable to malicious URLs.
NOTE: For security reasons, it's strongly recommended to disable HTML. By default, HTML and URLs are
disabled. Enable them on your own risk!
If UBB is enabled (it is by default), images can be inserted with the UBB code [img], and if HTML is
enabled, they can be inserted with the <IMG> tag. Note that if the image width is bigger than
the guestbook width, the script will try to resize the image.
You can also enable or disable unique message IDs and message signatures which help to protect your guestbook
from spam bots. Please note that like the admin feature these features need PHP 4.1.0 or higher with session
support.
Additionally you can enable or disable referer checks and user agent checks against spam bots. Please note
that the Apache variables HTTP_REFERER and HTTP_USER_AGENT are required for these checks, so if you are
using another HTTP server, make sure that these variables are supported or disable these checks.
Another feature of this guestbook is the e-mail notification: you can set an e-mail address in the
configuration file in order to receive a notification for every new entry in your guestbook.
