guestbook script PHP

surreal5335 · May 20, 2008

I am in need of help installing a guestbook script called hnguestbook. I have uploaded all the files. I understand that I need to convert the php files over to a text file before uploading, and the gif files in binary mode (not sure how to do that).
Also I am not sure which script is the one I should use as the main page at which I use as the link to the guestbook on my site. I tried using index.php but that only gave me a title and thats it.

I heard that this was designed for unix and IE7. Im on windows xp and using firefox. but even IE gives the same result as firefox (just a title).

The instalations instructions didnt clearify which page is meant to be the main one.

Here is a list of the different file names:

gb_view.php
gb_sign.php
gb_functions.php
gb_admin.php
gb_adminview.php
gb_ajax.js
gb_config.php
index.php
gb_style.css
gb_english.php
data.txt
ip.txt

I appreciate the help

index.* is usually the main page for any site/script.

In your case it would be index.php

You dont have to convert you file, just upload the files to the folders of your choice.
Now about the home page, i think index.php will be the home page for the ordinary users and gb_admin.php wouldbe for admin people.
If you have uploaded the datas can you give the link to where its installed so that we can help you further.

Thanks for the input I have put the index.php file as the main, all it seems to give me is this:

http://mwebbuilder.x10hosting.com/index.php

Im guessing the echo and print functions have not been properly formatted yet for the html come up.

here is the code for index.php

Code:

[B]<?php
[U]include[/U]("gb_config.php");

[U]if[/U] (!(file_exists($ip_file))){

$data=file($ip_file);	
}[U]else[/U]{
fopen($ip_file,"r");
$data=file($ip_file);	
}
$userIP=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; 
[U]for[/U] ($i=0; $i[B]<sizeof($data); $i++){
$bannedIP = trim($data[$i]);
[U]if[/U] ($bannedIP == $userIP){
[U]echo[/U]("<h3>[/B]$la34[B]</h3>[/B]");

Thanks a lot for your help

In your code, you have the following line

<div id="signform" style="display:none;">

just change it as

<div id="signform">

It will work fine. Try it.

That helped out a lot, but for some reason now, the images which are put into a seperate folder called images are not being accessed. In the code it has the link in there properly but all I get on the web page is the "alt" message instead of the actual image. I also had this problem with the index.php page. It wasnt being accessed at all until I put all the script files into the main public folder. Is there a setting I need to change to get the server to read the subfolders?

This is the code from index.php that handles the smileys

Code:

[B]<a href="javascript:smiley(' :p ');">[/B][B]<img src="images/s1.gif" alt=":p" border="0">[/B][B]</a>[/B] [B]
<a href="javascript:smiley(' :) ');">[/B][B]<img src="images/s2.gif" alt=":)" border="0">[/B][B]</a>[/B] [B]<a href="javascript:smiley(' :a ');">[/B][B]<img src="images/s3.gif" alt=":a" border="0">[/B][B]</a>[/B] [B]
<a href="javascript:smiley(' :o ');">[/B][B]<img src="images/s4.gif" alt=":o" border="0">[/B][B]</a>[/B] 
[B]<a href="javascript:smiley(' :s ');">[/B][B]<img src="images/s5.gif" alt=":s" border="0">[/B][B]</a>[/B] 
[B]<a href="javascript:smiley(' :r ');">[/B] [B]<img src="images/s6.gif" alt=":r" border="0">[/B][B]</a>[/B] [B]
<a href="javascript:smiley(' :v ');">[/B][B]<img src="images/s7.gif" alt=":v" border="0">[/B][B]</a>[/B] 
[B]<a href="javascript:smiley(' :h ');">[/B][B]<img src="images/s8.gif" alt=":h" border="0">[/B][B]</a>[/B] 
[B]<a href="javascript:smiley(' ;) ');">[/B][B]<img src="images/s9.gif" alt=";)" border="0">[/B][B]</a>[/B] [B]<a href="javascript:smiley(' :m ');">[/B][B]<img src="images/s10.gif" alt=":m" border="0">[/B][B]</a>[/B][B]</td>[/B]

Thanks a lot

I may know why he images aren't being retrieved. If I visit http://mwebbuilder.x10hosting.com/images/s1.gif (One of the smilies) I get a 403 Permission Denied error. This would suggest that the permissions on the /images folder is incorrect.

You should try to CHMOD that folder to 0755. This can be done using either FTP or the cPanel file manager.

surreal5335 · May 22, 2008

Thank you for the help, though I get the same problem after CHMOD to 0755. may I ask what makes you feel its 0755? IS there a place in the script that is identified to that number? If so where can I find it?

You don't have permission to access /images/s3.gif on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

This is the error message that I am getting when I try to view the image
Thanks a lot

TechAsh · May 22, 2008

may I ask what makes you feel its 0755?

0755 is the default for all folders.

You could also try to CHMOD the folder to 0777, but I'm not sure that will make much difference.
Other things to try:

Is there a .htaccess file in /images? If there is can you post the content here?
CHMOD all of the files in /images to 0644

surreal5335 · May 23, 2008

Thank you very much for the help, I got the smileys working. found out what I needed to do was CHMOD each image over to 0777. Now I seem to have a problem with getting the other pages to work when I press the sign button.
The sign button is programmed to activate gb_sign.php which makes sense. Im just not sure whats stopping it from activating. I tried CHMOD 0777 like the images but that didnt help

Any suggestions?

Here is gb_sign.php

Code:

[B]<?
[U]include[/U]("gb_config.php");
