RE: Website Comments (PHP)

Looks like a great system Klaas, does it cost money, or you give the
script for free? I am thinking in the end I will use a text file,
perhaps you could explain how you did yours, and these csv files, Whats
a csv file? I would like to do the site in PHP not asp, so I'm glad you
know both :)
I know .htaccess is secure, I just never tried using it before. That
would no-doubt be the most secure way to do it though. I can write to
files I believe. I should send you the Code we have for the paging so
far, It's messy and I'm sure not too good, we couldn't find one out
there, so we had to make our own :|
Thanks
Jason

You could do either. I've done a number of PHP sites using flat text
files 
(in most cases csv files), and others using a combination of flat files
and 
MySQL databases. Both work.

As for admin interfaces, they are not that difficult. Password
protection can 
also be done with either .htaccess or with the PHP header() function.
The 
only thing that can be a pain on tightly secured systems is getting the 
ownership of flat files set so PHP can write to them. Off course if you
have 
the required access priviledges that's not an issue.

Good luck,
