You cannot write any code until you have broken down a problem into the individual steps necessary to solve that problem. For any particular action (adding a new entry to the guest book file), have you set down in front of an editor and thought about and made a list of steps you would do to accept the data from the form and save it into a text file stored on a computer?

 

You would then write the code necessary to perform each of those individual steps. For example, one of the steps might be to open and read through the existing content of the text file. You would then make use of the Filesystem function section in the php documentation (or more likely your instructor has covered the instructions he expects you to use) to find what functions exist that allow you to open and read the content of a file.
