Building A Quick-And-Dirty Guestbook With patGuestbook (part 2) - Over And Out (
Page 8 of 8 )
And that's about all we have time for. In this
two-part article, I introduced you to patGuestbook, a PHP application that makes
setting up a guestbook on your site as easy as clicking your way through a series
of menus. I showed you how to create a new guestbook, configure required and optional
fields, and explore rating possibilities in your guestbook. I also showed you
how to moderate entries as they are added, customize the user interface via the
patTemplate engine, and protect unauthorized access to your guestbook with simple
HTTP authentication.
In case you'd like to learn more about the topics discussed in this tutorial,
take a look at the following links:

Note: All examples have been tested on Linux/i586 with Apache 1.3.28, PHP 4.2
and patGuestbook 1.0. Examples are illustrative only, and are not meant for a
production environment. Melonfire provides no warranties or support for the source
