Project 3

For this project you will need to create several php files.  The project is explained on page 361 (Case Project 7-1).  The guest book will require a base html file containing the original form, and then will need a separate php file for each option in the guestbook.

You should begin by looking at the sample guestbook.  Add your own name to the guestbook so I know you have looked at it.  You will note the following features of the guestbook:

  • A guest can enter his/her name in the guestbook (SignGuestbook.php)
  • A visitor on the list can be deleted (DeleteVisitor.php)
  • The guest book can be sorted A-Z (SortVisitorsAscending.php)
  • The guest book can be sorted Z-A (SortVisitorsDescending.php)
  • The guest book can be viewed (ViewGuestbook.php)

The file that maintains the guestbook should be called visitors.txt and should be created when the first visitor signs up.
