Can any one provide me a free PHP Script of a guest book with these specifications:
-Visitor fills the guestbook form and submit.
-The filled form don't go to direct display but goes to Webmasters email address.
-Where webmaster check the content and for OK Publishing, clicks the link in the email online. And then the guest message populate the GuestBook.
- but without MySQL support.

Is this really a "Will someone write me a custom server-side script for free" request?

The no-MySQL makes it a bit trickier, but you should be able to do it fairly easily. Be a great learning project. My second project was very close to this, except it used MySQL. In fact, it is still in use. When someone submits I get an email with a link. Click the link and pending submissions are listed. Clear them by checking a box, hit submit and all the good ones get moved to the "active" list, while all the bad ones get deleted.

I don't think it was more than a couple of hundred lines of code, if that. I am sure that if you give it a go you will get plenty of help where you run into trouble.

Bearded,
Welcome to WebmasterWorld! [webmasterworld.com]

As willybfriendly says, it is a little trickier without using MySQL. A good resource is hotscripts.com and then check out the tutorials under PHP/Tips_and_Tutorials/. .

There should be something there of interest.

Fix my code/Do My Homework posts are not all that welcome. This is a discussion board, if you have a problem, try to phrase your post in a manner condusive [sic] to discussion of the issue. We want to teach people to help themselves. (Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, you feed him for a life time.

From the Forum Charter.

I (we) will help you learn to fish.

First you need to lay out your db and make a form to gather the information you intend to store.

Yes I have made the form and configured my MySQL with a new db account and password.
What next, Sir?

Welcome to WebmasterWorld bearded,

Have you then looked at the information you want to store and display? These two things may not coincide and you may need some extra columns in the db that you may use for display purposes only.

You may be best to find one of the free scripts at hotscripts.com as wruk999 mentioned. You can then get the basic workings of such a script and customize as needed from there.
