Here is a tutorial how to make a DATABASE FREE Guestbook/Status!

add.php is:

<center><form action="add2.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="u">
<input type="text" name="i">
<input type="submit">
</form>

---

Ok! We've gotten the form done!

Now for the confirm!

add2.php should be:
<?php
$msg = "<b>".$_POST['u']."</b> said:<br>".$_POST[i]."<br>";
$msg .= file_get_contents('content.php';
file_put_contents('content.php', $msg); // Script made by some guy named Akise
?>
<center>Posted! <a href="gb.php">Back to Guestbook</a>

---

Got that down? Now to the next page.

gb.php should be:

<?include ('add.php' ?>
<br>
<?include ('content.php' ?>

---

You also need content.php, which stores the messages, so that is the database of the guestbook. But leave it COMPLETELY blank.

Hope you enjoyed!

Credit to Akise; If he never made FateStatus, I would never be able to do this!

Nice! Not as secure as a database, but sure looks easier.

Not secure? :l...

How about between the last two things:

$nohtml = strip_tags('<b><br><hr><img>', $msg);

Hmm.... I think there should be another " on top line

No, I copy/pasted this, just took out all the smileys and the strip_tags and stripslashes. I wanted you guys to figure it out.. :l -orb

NO MATTER WHAT, DO NOT USE HTMLENTITIES! It disables ALL the HTML from $msg, including <b>, <div>, <br>, etc.


Use strip_tags('<b><br>', $msg);

As needed to disable HTML. Whatever is in between the quotes is the enabled codes.

Added credit to Akise...

...and...

file_get_contents and file_put_contents are both normal PHP functions. -Akise

Strip tags won't work,I'll fix it later

---

angelrulez7 (2012-09-01 05:41:47)

---

Wait, I used '' instead of "", didn't I?

Fix that.

Oh yeah.

If you want strip_tags, use THIS code for add2.php:

<?
$msg = "<b>".$_POST['u']."</b> said:<br>".$_POST['i']."<br>";
$msg . = file_get_contents('content.php';
$disablehtml = strip_tags("<b><img><br>", $msg);
$strip = stripslashes($disablehtml);
file_put_contents('content.php', $strip);
?>

This disables HTML and fixes quotes.

There are certain benefits to a database, though. One being it's much easier to search/sort through.
