//that from panther

$sql = "INSERT INTO guestbook (first,email,comments) VALUES ('$first','$email','$comments')";

$result = mysql_query($sql);

echo "Thank you! Information entered.\n";

// display form

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM guestbook",$db);

while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

printf("<a href=\"%s?id=%s\">%s %s</a><br>\n", $PHP_SELF, $myrow["first"], $myrow["email"], $myrow["comments"]);

}

}

}Else{
// In case the data doesn't load or there
// are no entries we'll have text to display
print ("Either the data will not load, or there have been no entries! Please fill out a entry at the top!);
?>
</body>
</html>

Would this work as a guest book? If not please help guide me through this. I used the hotwired lycos. I read through the Tutorial, and then created this script (Very similar to there's except I kkinda built it in my way

)

lol PHP is dead easy if you already know a programming language, its a lot of ifs and elses
