the generated guestbook is a perfect companion to a page created by EZHOMEPG.

this generator actually consists of two scripts:

1. ezguest.pl - gets input from user and generates a guestbook page based on the entered parameters.

   the user can change color selections, control email acknowledgement and modify retention rules any time without bothering the guestbook entries.

2. ezguesta.pl - is used for adding new entries to the guestbook.

i modified the guestbook script originally written by matt wright so it could service multiple guestbooks and automatically expire entries by age or file size overflow.

the script to create, edit and generate pages came from homepage maker script, originally written by dave palmer. i've adapted it to process guestbooks and i've also added the page deletion capability. , provide color selections and accept parameters for controlling email acknowledgement and retention rules.

the date calculation routines come from date.pl, written by Gary Puckering, and are used here, unchanged.

the capability to delete guestbook entries (now included in latest version) was suggested to me by Andrew Burk last year and i've incorporated the code derived from his enhancements into the new ezguest scripts.
