In this tutorial I will show you how to create a simple guest book where your visitors can leave messages which are stored in a MySQL database. It contains the basic functions and security settings.

This is a very simple guestbook tutorial consisting of how to write an html form, get the form to insert data in mysql and then displaying the form with a basic mysql query. The result is a simple guestbook which just displays the name and a comment of the visitor.

Feedback is very valuable to not only the web designers, but to other visitors as well. This tutorial shows you how to create a script that will display comments from users, and allow users to post their own comments. The script is very secure because it converts HTML and Javascript to text. It allows the use of BBCode for user designated formatting. The script is written in PHP, and uses a MySQL table to store all the information. Can be used on an unlimited number of pages. Looks great, but styling can be changed by editing the css in the script. Easy setup.
