I need a very customisable guestbook whose entries contain the following fields:
- name
- email
- homepage url
- homepage name
- date message posted
- referrer (found site through...)
If there is no way of doing it without mySQL, I'd need detailed instructions on how to set up the thing.

[edit reason] snip url [/edit]
I dont know of a specific one but here is a list of 217 I am sure one of them is not going to use a MySQL.
http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Guestbooks/
You have described what you are looking for very well and don't need the url to show us. Take a look at Knowles' suggestion there are a lot of useful scripts in that list.
So are all URLs in posts forbidden ?
check your stickymail
What I was hoping to get, was a pointer to a specific (free) guestbook which exactly matches my criteria and with whom somebody had positive experiences.
If it's forbidden to post URLs, then just tell me the name of such a free PHP guestbook and I'll look for it with Google.

Copy the above and name it what ever you want with a .php extension
You can work on the layout :-)

[edit reason] fixed code tag [/edit]
I'll try out the script.
Warning: fopen("guestbook.txt", "w") - Permission denied in /usr/www/users/mysite/guestbook.php on line 63
Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /usr/www/users/mysite/guestbook.php on line 64
Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /usr/www/users/mysite/guestbook.php on line 65
Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /usr/www/users/mysite/guestbook.php on line 66
Also try naming the file with .php3
Naming the script with .php was sufficient.
But there is one thing missing - the referrer input field ('found site through' with a pull-down menu).
Just change
<input type="hidden" name="from" value="<? echo $HTTP_REFERER ?>">
to
<select name="from" class="inputbox">
<option value="" selected>- Please Select -
<option value="foo">foo
<option value="foo2">foo2
<option value="foo3">foo3
<option value="foo4">foo4
<option value="foo5">foo5
</select>
foo = what ever you want the choices to be.
