Here's how to filter out bad words:

This is probably the least elegant way but will work, you can use the PHP string replace function.  Place this on the first couple lines of the script:

$Comments = str_replace("Shit", "", $Comments);

This is the basic idea - it will replace Shit with nothing if you want to do a search and replace you can use something like this:

$Comments = str_replace("Shit", "****", $Comments);

With the above any occurance of the characters Shit will be replaced by ****

You can just add the ones you want to replace line by line, for example:
$Comments = str_replace("Crap", "****", $Comments);

Note that str_replace(); replace is case sensitive - which will cause problems.


An incase sensitive alternative would be to use the eregi function:

$Comments = eregi_replace("Shit", "****", $Comments);

This function is slower then the str_replace function but you probably will not notice it.

For more information:

and

But eventually you'll want to but all the bad words into an array then loop through this function replacing each one all at once.

Currently the only way you can delete an entire entry and edit the file - Is to open up the text file  GuestBook.txt from the server.  And edit that actual text file.  - Look through the contents of that text file and remove any parts that you don't want to appear on the text file.

THank a lot i get it ...
do any one know how can we change the font and color in guestbook i dont like the color black so how can i change it ...
                 by the way thank a lot to help me do  GuestBook

You can change the font by opening up the fla - then selecting the Text area called GuestBook (the main area).  Then using the text box controls - change the font with the font Drop down Menu.  Then you can also change the font color and size - this will change/affect any text that is loaded into this text box area.  

You can change the color of the background for the guestbook - as you normally would - just edit the symbol and use the color chooser and paint bucket to change any of that around.
