What I mean is, when I go to http://davidrl41.signmyguestbook.com/, or http://paulowenlewis.com/guestbook/polguestbook.html, the date still shows as: 12:22 am - Monday,April 11, 2005
If you change the - to a / it shows up as: 12:22 am / Monday, April 11, 2005, right? When I go to those websites, I'm still seeing the date with the -, so it appears as though it has not been changed in the HTML file. The .pl file only writes to the HTML file when there is a new post, and for that matter, it only writes the new post... it doesn't re-write any other information. I'm going to copy the source HTML page to my server, so that I can tinker around with it, and see what is happening with the date.

I copied the html that made up the existing entries from the "signmyguestbook" page and pasted it into the "paulowenlewis" page so I wouldn't lose them. The .pl file has never made a date appear. When I edit the .pl file and changed the - to a/ I got nothing but what I put there. If I leave the - there and make a new entry I get the -. If I put the a/ in there and make a new entry I get a/ not the date.

Feel free to make new entries if you want to test it. I'll check it periodically and delete your entries... Just put your name in as comatose and I will know to delete it.

Thanks again!
