Guestbook

Hi Guys,

Anybody knows of a free and decent PHP Multilanguage guestbook (or at least
supporting German and English)? I don't care if it is db-driven or uses flat
files.
I know how to write one, but it's for a website we didn't develop (but will
now host) and I'm feeling a bit lazy... maybe someone has a hint.
I don't care of how it looks, I can customize that, just want to write as
less code as possible and avoid any security headaches as well (yeah... the
good old lazy days :)).

Thanks in advance,

Rob

I'm scared of using other peoples work due to security problems... I
rather write things myself usually so I have a better feeling its secure.

Easily found this:
http://www.phpjunkyard.com/php-guestbook-script.php

Seems to have some solutions against spamming, and also it's "highly
customizable". Like beeing integrable.

Good... that will be my answer next time I don't have anything to say on a
thread.

And yeah... you can search for "Free PHP <whatever>" and you'll get some
Ad-Oriented websites if you know what I mean... sometimes Google just sucks.

And sometimes "Yes, once I used XXXX which is reliable, simple and supports
German..." is not that hard to answer. If for every issue you come across
you have to use Google alone, then get rid of the list... there were so many
jerky questions that got answered here... Anyway, I'll just have to write my
own and save it on our library, there's a German speaking woman in the
company which will give me a hand. I personally hate guestbooks, but I
prefer to have some reusable piece of our own, than to have to deal with
some dirty code for which I don't have a recommendation.

Pity, it is the first time I ask something to the list, I expected just a
bit more (like a couple of names to research).
Well... seems that I'll change my policy a bit next time someone needs a
hand.

I don't care, don't use google.

You don't even have a suggestion, and still complain

This list is "about" php, ie what you build ... lets say guestbooks of. Jerky
or not, this is where you come when you hit a brickwall, with no lazyness

See there you go... and with some help you should be down on 30min each.

me to, especially those with captcha

Did you do any research before askin' for help? sure didn't sound like it.
Remember that some (most?) of these guys (and gals?) do php for a living, and
take it out of their own pocket trying to help one'another, and it's a rude
practice demanding without showing you'd done some forehand homework.
Me? I'm just rude enought to point that out.

I hope you catch on to both my irony and what I try to tell you, if so you'd
be doin' just fine
