How can I create a guestbook script?

cpanel has a simple guestbook script that allows you to create a guestbook that your visitors can sign. You can modify the appearance of the guestbook, and view and manage guestbook entries.

Note: A more advanced guestbook, with many more features, is also available. However, this does take more time to set up, and requires some MySQL knowledge.

To create a guestbook:

  1. Click on the Simple Guestbook link in the CGI Center area.
  2. Copy and paste the HTML code at the bottom of the page to your web page. Feel free to alter the appearance of the form - as long as all the fields are available, the script will still work correctly. This is the minimum you need to do to get the script working - upload the file, and you're finished.
  3. Upload the finished HTML page to test the script.
