New to php and need some help with a guestbook
Please support our PHP advertiser: PostgreSQL or MySQL? Compare and contrast the two most popular open source databases
 |
I have just put together a personal site and am trying to integrate a php guestbook. I obtained a free guestbook, called easyboard and have followed the instructions asto the installation but the html page that I've incorprated the board isn't actually working it displays all the deperate parts that would normally come upon completion of an action.
I have posted all the files as txt files so that you can atleast read the coding that I have downloaded and also edited. The links for these are
The main html page
http://www.daveclissold.com/board/board-html.txt
The script pages

http://www.daveclissold.com/board/ea..._admin-php.txt
http://www.daveclissold.com/board/ea...ntries-php.txt
If you know what is going wrong please help as I really would like to get this up and running asap
Regards
Dave

Edit the following line:
[PHP]$HTML=load("easyboard_template.html");[/PHP]
so that it says:
[PHP]$HTML=load("board.html");[/PHP]
Then point your browser at easyboard.php.
[PHP]$HTML=load("easyboard_template.html");[/PHP]
so that it says:
