Revised GuestBook.php script

[jam]

Thanks!

[Larry]

I downloaded this thing a while back, and
have just started experimenting with it.

It Works Perfectly!
I've been learning quite a lot fro it.
Thank you.

I do have a question about how the php
limits the size of the text file, that it is writing to.

If I understand what I'm looking at correctly,
the size or length of the text file is limited according to
the byte size of the file ie: 80000b or 80kb.
After that, it starts dumping the old entries
off the bottom as it were, so as to maintain that size.

...errr, right?


Now, What I wan to know is this.
Rather than counting the bytes, and using that information
to limit the length of this file, can I have it count the arrays instead,
and cut it off at say, 2 or 3 hundred arrays?

Thank you in advance!

Hi Larry,
sure you can.
But if you want a guestbook with many entries, and possibly editable, you should consider the version 2 type with database support

Hello Ronald,
and thank you for the reply

It's not so much a matter of need, as it is me
Wanting to learn all I can with what I have before me
before I move on to the next leason, if you follow.

I have every intention of taking a close look at the other
guest book you are refering to, and to be honest, I've got my
eyes on that cool little flashforum as well.
Learn, learn, learn, 'ya know? LOL
I'm real new to php, but it is so cool, I gotta find out how.

Anyway...errr, where do I find this answer?

Thanks

Hi Larry,
you are wellcome to learn
Just browse our tutorials section, and you definately will learn a lot.
For questions, just return to the board.

[Larry]

Can you give me a hint, as to what to search for, please?
I've started with "limit entries" in the guestbook forum.

If there is a better term for what I am looking for, it would
help knowing that.

Thanks again

Hi
I'm new here.
Great tutorial.!
But I seem to have a little problem.
I created my own guestbook, but when i placed a message, the info was not loaded
into the guestbook.txt file. And the guestbook window on my browser was
saying 'processing....loading new.....' forever

Then I uploaded the downloadable guestbook files, and the same thing happened!

I figured it must have something to do with my server or so, but I cannot solve it.
I have set the guestbook.txt file into 777 permission, and my server suitable for php, so I checked.

Does anyone know what's going on?

Yea i have the same problem Jelle, only now it won't even load the swf at all (theres an error sign on the bottom and the error says "Line 3 Char 66 Error expect ')' i assume that means an unfinished (tag)?  I checked but saw nothing  Code 0  
 i'm using 0catch.com as a host, i get that skipped error thing as well i just switched from CUTE FTP to filezilla

PS
Do you guys know of any free hosts that allow php?

[rinser]

should i just replace the PHP script that i found in the tutorial yesterday with this new one ?
they dont look too similar ....i am very very new to this...i have everything in place but continue to have problems with the PHP script

[Castek]

Error opening URL "file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/HP%5FOwner/Desktop/Haze%20Tattoo%20New%20Site/GuestBook/GuestBook.php?action=read&r=942&NumLow=0"

Hi all,

This is the first time for me on this site and its amazing to go through the site. I came accross the guestbook and tried it. Its giving me error while testing the movie, i am able to enter data into the database and eveyrthing is working fine. But, the entries are not being displayed in the view box. It's just showing as 'Loading entries... Please wait...' in the view box and also it is giving error like 'Error opening URL "file:///C|/webs/test/GuestBook.php?action=read&r=489&NumLow=0". I am using the original version of GuestBook V2.0 php script with mySQL.

any suggestions/help is greatly appreciated....

thanks.
