PHP Guestbooks- any suggestions?

[kzuich]

Heya, people! :D

I wanted to see if anybody here has implemented a PHP guestbook on their server. I don't feel comfortable enough with PHP/SQL yet to try and tackle coding one myself from scratch- the most I've done with PHP has been using it to populate certain portions of my site (like then navbar). My biggest problem is that I am concerned about the database aspect of it (sanitizing user input and the like...I'm just not familiar enough with that stuff to take that on and I don't want to open myself up to attacks).

I was hoping to implement a guestbook that I can host myself, rather than relying on a third-party service, especially in light of 123guestbook shutting down. I would also prefer not to rely on Google docs.

Am I crazy? Should I just stick to third-party guestbooks and embed it into my site? Or is this something anybody has done here before?

I'm aware of Gecko's MiniGB! I haven't tested it so I'm not sure how stable it is, but the code looks pretty good! You can download the latest version here.

I'm sure there must be others out there too

I wanted to post an update on the PHP guestbook front, I found out that Angora Guestbook received a ver 2.0 that will work with modern PHP and SQL. :) I've been testing it out locally, it's pretty cool! I'm not sure if it's what I'm going to go with, but I wanted to throw it out there!

The github is here if anyone is interested in checking it out!
