plomma Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Hello all! I have a small problem with some old PHP-code I think. I am pretty new to PHP, so I don't really know where to start. I have downloaded a flash/php/mysql guestbook-script from http://www.flash-db.com/Tutorials/guestbook/index.php The problem is that this code won't run on my server. The PHP versions running is 4.4.x and 5.2.x+su_php. I only get Internal Server Error. Is this because the script is out of date? Help appreciated! This is the code used: <? /* ----- Application: Flash-dB GuestBook Version 2.0 Details: mySQL and PHP powered GuestBook Author: Mohsin Sumar Website: http://www.flash-db.com Support: http://www.flash-db.com/Board Notes: Coments are marked by using comment entries symbols.
