Guestbook Customization

[vareside]

Hi folks,

for another time I need the help and support of the united knowledge of all of you guys. I have a guestbook php script but I need to change a few things. I do not know how to do this. Can someone customize the script-part below:

PHP Code:

<?php 
class maxGuestbook{ 
   var $messageDir = 'messages'; 
   var $dateFormat = 'Y-m-d g:i:s A'; 
   var $itemsPerPage = 10; 
   var $messageList; 
    
function processGuestbook(){ 
   if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { 
      $this->insertMessage(); 
   } 
   $page = isset($_GET['page']) ? $_GET['page'] : 1; 
    
   $this->displayGuestbook($page); 
} 
    
function getMessageList(){ 
     
   $this->messageList = array(); 
    
    // Open the actual directory 
    if ($handle = @opendir($this->messageDir)) { 
        // Read all file from the actual directory 
        while ($file = readdir($handle))  { 
            if (!is_dir($file)) { 
               $this->messageList[] = $file; 
          } 
        } 
    }     
     
    rsort($this->messageList); 
     
    return $this->messageList; 
}    

function displayGuestbook($page=1){ 
      $list = $this->getMessageList(); 
      //echo "<center><a href='add.php'>Leave a message</a></center>"; 
      echo "<table class='newsList'>"; 
       
      //Get start point and end point 
      $startItem = ($page-1)*$this->itemsPerPage; 
      if (($startItem + $this->itemsPerPage) > sizeof($list)) $endItem = sizeof($list); 
      else $endItem = $startItem + $this->itemsPerPage;  
       
      for ($i=$startItem;$i<$endItem;$i++){ 
         //foreach ($list as $value) { 
         $value = $list[$i]; 
          $data = file($this->messageDir.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$value); 
          $name  = trim($data[0]); 
          $email = trim($data[1]); 
         $submitDate = trim($data[2]);     
         unset ($data['0']); 
         unset ($data['1']); 
         unset ($data['2']); 
           
         $content = ""; 
         foreach ($data as $value) { 
               $content .= $value; 
         } 
           
          echo "<tr><th align='left'><a href=\"mailto:$email\">$name</a></th> 
                    <th class='right'>$submitDate</th></tr>"; 
          echo "<tr><td colspan='2'>".nl2br(htmlspecialchars($content))."<br/></td></tr>"; 
      } 
      echo "</table>"; 
      if (sizeof($list) == 0){ 
         echo "<center><p>No messages at the moment!</p><p>&nbsp;</p></center>"; 
      } 
      // Create pagination 
      if (sizeof($list) > $this->itemsPerPage){ 
         echo "<div id=\"navigation\">"; 
         if ($startItem == 0) { 
            if ($endItem < sizeof($list)){ 
               echo "<div id=\"nright\"><a href=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?page=".($page+1)."\" >Next &raquo;</a></div>"; 
            } else { 
               // Nothing to display 
            } 
         } else { 
            if ($endItem < sizeof($list)){ 
               echo "<div id=\"nleft\"><a href=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?page=".($page-1)."\" >&laquo; Prev</a></div>"; 
               echo "<div id=\"nright\"><a href=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?page=".($page+1)."\" >Next &raquo;</a></div>"; 
            } else { 
               echo "<div id=\"nleft\"><a href=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?page=".($page-1)."\" >&laquo; Prev</a></div>"; 
            } 
         } 
          
         echo "<br/></div><br/>"; 
      } 
      echo "<hr />"; 
      $this->displayAddForm(); 
} 

function displayAddForm(){ 
?>   
  <form class="iform" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post"> 
    Name:<br/> 
    <input type="text" name="name" size="30"/><br/><br/> 
    Email:<br/> 
    <input type="text" name="email" size="30"/><br/><br/> 
    Your message:<br/> 
    <textarea name="message" rows="7" cols="49"></textarea><br/> 
    <center><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Save" /></center> 
  </form>  
    
<?php    
} 

function insertMessage(){ 
   $name   = isset($_POST['name']) ? $_POST['name'] : 'Anonymous'; 
   $email  = isset($_POST['email']) ? $_POST['email'] : ''; 
   $submitDate  = date($this->dateFormat); 
   $content = isset($_POST['message']) ? $_POST['message'] : ''; 
    
   if (trim($name) == '') $name = 'Anonymous'; 
   if (strlen($content)<5) { 
      exit(); 
   } 
    
   $filename = date('YmdHis'); 
   if (!file_exists($this->messageDir)){ 
      mkdir($this->messageDir); 
   } 
   $f = fopen($this->messageDir.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$filename.".txt","w+");          
   fwrite($f,$name."\n"); 
   fwrite($f,$email."\n"); 
   fwrite($f,$submitDate."\n"); 
   fwrite($f,$content."\n"); 
   fclose($f); 
    
} 
} 
?>

I want users to submit a URL and a description for the website into the message-field. Nothing else! Could anyone edit it?

Best regards,
Max

But I ment it that way:
1st field: Website Name
2nd field: URL
3rd field: Description

The name should be displayed as a link! And below that, the desc.

[ishkey]

Have I lost my mind?
I saw a post which said
I only want the web address and description not the name, date or email......

[vareside]

Yes, because you came up with website name!

So, how to do it?

[ishkey]

Well it would be the first time I've lost it.
Now you have two files to compare and should be able to code like you want.

put this and the rest of the code for it back in
echo "<tr><th align='left'><a href=\"<A href="mailto:$email\">$name</a></th">mailto:$email\">$name</a></th> "old code"
and edit the mailto so it's linkable.

add the second field code
edit the style.css file
should work.
Gotta go work calls.
