flatPHPbook is a PHP based guestbook engine, but unlike most other of its kind it stores the guestbook data in a flat text file and therefore does not require a database like MySQL installed on the web server.
Some of the features of this script are:
- supports BBcode known from other boards and forums for formatting the posts or including links to other pages
- can easily be translated into other languages (English, German, French, Spanish, Russian, Dutch and Swedish already available)
- optional email notification for new posts that works on both Unix/Linux and Win32 web servers
- page spanningallows to display the entries on more than one page if the number of total posts exceeds a set amount of posts per page
- new posts can be previewed before they are submitted with the same formatting used in the guestbook
- theme support via annotated external CSS file
- admin mode: delete, edit or comment posts, and configure the behaviour of the script (uses cookies)
either both viewing and signing on one page or separated onto two pages
- validates correctly as HTML 4.01 Transitional, and as far as I know it works with Mozilla, Internet Explorer, Opera and Konqueror
