Having prolems with a guestbook

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.

Problem page to look at

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
Main HTML txt file

The script pages
Main php script
Admin script txt file
data entry files

If you know what is going wrong please help as I really would like to get this up and running asap

Regards

Dave

You know, I really wanted to help, but you over whelmed me with too much stuff to read on the screen...

So lets start at the begining... Your HTML page at the top has NO php in it, so it is showing exactly what you have told it to show... go back and check the original sample page that comes with the PHP guestbook and pay special attention to the <% and %> tags, and make sure your page is .php or your server is setup to look for php code in .html file, one or the other... and be sure what php logic you need in the given page to check the input values...etc... but only if the page is being submit...otherwise it should assume it is just showing a blank page...
