Not having anything else on - i think i'll write a php guestbook
suitable for windows webhosting .
I say windows webhosting because i cant be arsed with all that linux
permission crap .
Think about it , Man can go to the moon , But you still need to fart
around with a simple setting on poxy linux webspace .
But putting that aside , Do you have any likes or dislikes when it comes
to guestbooks ? .
Try to see other Guestbook scripts.
Don't allow HTML. Allow ONLY BBCode.

one thing is for sure, you don't have to mess with any 'linux permission
crap' to make a PHP guestbook on linux.
use a database.
Only if you made a file based guestbook and even that wouldn't be too
hard. You only needed to set the permissions to 766 on each file you
wanted to read / write and it would work :)

Yer what? Windows ACLs are nicer to use?
If PHP is installed as a module in Apache the only requirement is that
it can be read - just like any other file served on a web server.

As an exercise they're great - really nice for getting used to things
like XSS exploits and database usage. In fact I must have re-used code
I wrote for a guestbook a few years back many times over.
However, as an element in a web-site they are dreadful. The thing you
learn firstly and foremost when web-developing is the concept of
minimilism. If something doesn't have a critical purpose it may as
well not be on the site; it makes it look amaturish and wastes
precious screen real-estate.
Mention guestbooks in c.i.w.a.site-design and you'll have be sprawling
at the bottom of a few kill files ;]

newbie who has yet to attain clue .
[1] if you assume everybody else uses the default windows white then
