GUESTBOOK ENTRY
This is the HTML format for the entry into your guestbook.
Format it any way you want. There is a good example here.
You can copy and paste one of the formats from the guestbook.html file
included in the zip file or create your own. There are some more on the website
as well.
Here is the list of "special" tags you can use to display things that the
person wrote.
** Notice there is a difference between a {} and () **
** The field name MUST be surrounded by {} and NOT () **
These first few should be self explanitory....
$FIELDS{'name'} $FIELDS{'city'} $FIELDS{'country'}
$FIELDS{'howfound'} $FIELDS{'message'}
The next couple may need some explanation if you are new to this.
$FIELDS{'url'} - this is the persons website if they filled it in.
$EMASK - this is the persons email address. How it will look
depends on if you set $MASKEMAIL to YES or not.
$ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'} - This is the persons IP Address. ie. 192.168.200.102
ONLY EDIT THE PORTIONS THAT ARE IN GREEN
View the HTML file in your browser or look here to see what the
different entry formats look like.

Outlook Express. :-) Change the subject line to whatever you want.

{
Convert <BR> to CR(\n)
$FIELDS{'message'} =~ s/<BR>/\n/g;
You can edit this subject line for the email.
$SBJ = "Thaks for signing my guestbook";
