Simple GuestBook

The send button don't work. I just downloaded the files.
Has this issue been resolved?

Thank-you so much! This is exactly the type of functionality I had in mind.
I'm creating my first web site and don't have any experience with MySQL or ActionScripts; I don't think I would have been able to build the utility and definitely not as well as you have!

Someone has your same problem. Dunno why it happens...

Go here:
main

does it work ?

[ricdev]

Yes, it works on the link. But what does that mean though. Can I get the files on that link? Or they're the same as those I downloaded? By the way, do I still need to change any of the codes for those downloaded files - I'm assuming you've updated them by now? Speaking of which, the codes you said to change on the main.as has some part of it missing - where the codes appeared suddenly 3x bigger - there's definitely something wrong with them. Can you please advice again what I should do? Thanks.

Hi ricdev,
donwload the files and change getMessages.php with this code:

PHP Code:

<?php
    /*
 *************************************
  Flash CS3 Simple Guestbook                            
  http://www.flepstudio.org     
  Author: Filippo Lughi          
  version 1.0                                
 *************************************
 */
    include('configuration.php');
    
    $mysql = mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass);
    mysql_select_db($dbname);
    
    $Query="SELECT * from simple_guestbook";
    $Result=mysql_query( $Query );
    $Return="<?xml version=".'"1.0"'." encoding=".'"UTF-8"?>'."\n"."<items>";
    
    while($item=mysql_fetch_object($Result))
    {
     $Return.="<item><id>".$item->ID."</id><name>".$item->name."</name><message>"."<![CDATA[".$item->message."]]>"."</message><date>".$item->date."</date></item>"; 
    }
    $Return.="</items>";
    mysql_free_result($Result);
    echo ($Return)
?>

All the rest is fine.
About the send button, I think there is a little bug at this forum board that sometime with some browers the button won't work.
Files are ok, use the guestbook and you'll see

First off, Thank You for such a wonderful site!

I just really started to learn flash/php/as3/xml. I feel like my head might explode at times from information overload or just plain confusion, but sites like this where i can download and examine the code are great!

just downloaded the guestbook and it works great!

Wondering though is it possible to have alternating row colors?

Like in a data grid, I've seen this to used to make each row a different color.

dg.setStyle("alternatingRowColors",[0xD8F9FC,0xeeeee6]);

Since the guestbook uses a text area not sure how to go about doing that.

Thanks again

Obviously you need to install a database application. as for this case you need to install mysql or you can use XAMPP, it will install apache webserver, mysql, php and some other stuff that you can choose.if you install on your local machine by default dbhost = localhost, dbuser = root, dbpass = empty. for dbname is actually the name of your database which you created.
