This set of php scripts can be used in conjunction with Google Maps to produce an interactive Guest Book for visitors to your website.
Instead of a list of name/email/comments, Google Maps Guestbook has a visual interface where entries to the Guestbook are indicated by a 'Marker' on top of a map of the world
Requirements
web space capable of compiling php files
web space with the ability to write to text files
Installation and Setup
Unzip the files to a new folder.
How To Use
Google Maps Guestbook is intended to be used by visitors to your website.
The interface has a minimal set of options to make the new entry process as simple and as quick as possible.
Further Uses and Ideas:
- Add name and email to each entry
- Have regional maps
- Load the markers more quickly
How it Works:
Guestbook entries are stored in a flat-file text file.
