The PHP Code
Below is the PHP code. The guestbook data is stored in guestbook.txt. For the ASP code, go to the next page.
guestbook.php
//If data is submitted
If (isset($submit)){
if ($submit=="Y"){
$datestamp =(date ("dS F Y ( h:i:s A )",time())); //current
date
$fpn=@fopen("guestbook.txt","a+"); //open guest book
txt for append mode.
@flock ($fpn,2);
$rec = "Name: <b>$txtname</b><br>Email:
<b><u><a href=\"mailto:$txtemail\">$txtemail</a></u></b><br>Website:
<b><u><a href=\"$txtwebsite\" target=\"_blank\">$txtwebsite</a></u></b><br>Comments:
<b>$txtcomments</b><br><i>Posted on: $datestamp" . "\n";
// store data in HTML format
$fw=fwrite($fpn,$rec);
@flock($fpn,3);
@fclose($fpn);
}
}
//Read Data from Guest Book Database
//Store all entries in a Array.
$fp=@fopen("guestbook.txt","r");
@flock ($fp,2);
$garr=array();
while ($line=@fgets($fp,1024)){
array_push($garr,$line);
}
$totalent=count($garr)-1;
if ($totalent<0){
$totalent=0;
}
if($highlimit>$totalent){
$highlimit=$totalent;
}
//Following code will be used for sending variables to PHP script.
print "&txtll=$lowlimit&txthl=$highlimit&totalentries=$totalent&txtmain=" ;
//If u remember txtll,txthl,totalentries and txtmain are dyanamic text boxes
we have created in flash movie.
if (count($garr)==0){
print "<br><br><b> :::: Nothing to display ::::
</b>";
exit();
}
$ar=array_reverse($garr); // reverse the array
$garr=array();
for($i=$lowlimit;$i<=$highlimit;$i++){ // filter the records between lowlimit
and highlimit
if (!$ar[$i]) {
print "<br><br><b>::: Nothing Below This :::</b>";
exit;
}
print $ar[$i];
print "<br><br>";
}
@flock($fp,3);
@fclose($fp);

I've managed to get PHP working on my site and the PHP version seems to be working ok
Hi there
I've created a new directory on my site called guestbook and in it have placed the files:
guestbook.swf
guestbook.html [containing the swf file above]
asguest.asp
guestbook.txt
guestbook.mdm
I have created a new ODBC on my server and this is the path to the database:
htdocs\guestbook\guestbook.mdb
the link to the guestbook is http://www.eskymo.co.uk/guestbook/guestbook.html and is in it's original state as I wanted to test it worked before re-designing the interface. When checking the swf file online and entering my details and message it does the following:
says thankyou for signing up in the right hand panel and in the left panel reads 'wait ::: posting new entry' but nothing else happens even when refreshing the page.
Am I doing something wrong - do i need to alter the path to the databse in the script at all even though all the files are sitting in the same directory. As there is no working demo accompanying the tutorial I have no idea what it is supposed to do, even though i presume the data i've inputted should appear int he left panel.
Can anyone help me with this - i feel like such a numpty - It's the first time i'm dealing with databases and not sure if i'm missing something.
cheers

I have had a problem running the guestbook. Whenever I try to add an entry, I get error messages pointing to the highlimit, lowlimit and in variables, saying they are undefined.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong??
I'd appreciate it if you emailed me
Thanks..
