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:
