Simple guestbook with no database/mysql

[seadonkey]

I am looking for tutorials/key words to search for, for this project. What I am finding is guestbooks that have full database/sql. I simply just want a basic 101 to php guestbook that just shows the new programmer the basics of arrays and files and was wondering if anyone happened to know of a good tutorial/line of code that would point me in the right direction.

 

Thanks

 

 

What I would like to learn to do is create a web site to register users for an event. There will be a form that will allow a user to enter first name, last name, and email address and link to a page that will display all the registrants.

Rather than searching for guest books tutorials search for a more broad range such as 'php forms and mysql'.  You're basically looking for a tutorial to teach you how to take user input from a form and store it into a database then retrieve that data later.  It's pretty basic.

It will be pretty hard to find a tutorial on guestbooks or any stored data type of application, without the use of some type of Database.

Not at all. The first 3 results all look promising:

http://www.google.co.uk/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=flat+file+php+guestbook+&meta=

or indeed:

However, chrisdburns may be right (apart from the database bit). You may benefit more from looking at tutorials on individual parts of the problem, such as collecting data from a form and reading and writing to files.
