My code in guestbook.php looks like this:
<?php
$firstname=$_POST['firstname'];
$lastname=$_POST['lastname'];
$comments=$_POST['comments'];
$title = "WebBooks.com Guestbook";
include("header.php";
$fp = fopen("./guest.txt", "a";
fwrite($fp, "<br /><b>$firstname $lastname:</b> $comments <br /> ";
fclose($fp);
echo "Your Entry has been added to the guestbook!<br /><br />";
echo "<a href='gbform.php'>Return to the Guestbook</a>";
?>
Enjoy coding!!

Task completed
Is it better to use 'require' instead of 'include', when using external files?

All Good,
Got a bit more involved and added to Guestbook.php :-
$firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
if($firstname == "" $firstname = "Not Supplied";
$lastname = ($_POST['lastname']);
if($lastname == "" $lastname = "Not Supplied";
$comments = ($_POST['comments']);
if($comments == "" $comments = "None";
just so you dont get blank entries in your file. And to display what i was posting to the file :-
echo "<p><b> The data you have supplied is :-</b></p>";
echo "First Name :- ".$firstname."<br>";
echo "Last Name :- ".$lastname."<br>";
echo "Your Comments :- ".$comments."<br><br>";
Also changed the file name from "guest.txt" to "guest.html" as we are writing HTML commands to the file, would be easier to read the file in a browser window instead of a text viewer.
In hit_number.php, added this bit to ignore the read of file, if the file does not exist on the first pass, and set the $currenthits counter to zero.
if($fp = fopen("./hit.txt", "r")
{
// Read 20 binary bits from the text file and place in $currenthits variable
$currenthits = fread($fp, 20);
fclose($fp);
}
else
{
$currenthits = 0;
}
Otherwise , all
, time 4 a
