I have an idea but I’m pretty much retarded when it comes to these things so maybe someone can explain. How hard would it be to make a guestbook password protected. What I want is a sign up form containing name, password and e-mail fields. When someone enters a valid e-mail address an e-mail with a random word as a password is sent to them, then they log in and can use the guestbook with that name and password. Is that do-able?

Cheers, J

ps, it doesn’t have to be controlled by php and mysql, just whatever is easiest. My server supports everything under the sun so…

it’s do-able but’ll require quite a bit of code, and if you don’t know php will be very hard. But of course, there are resources and tut’s that’d help you.

Thanks for that. I don’t think databases are too much of a problem to me, it’s more php code, I always find a way to mess it up somehow… Anywho, I’ll have a go with that sometime this week and see where I can get

Cheers guys, J
