Cut and paste the code below ( downto the perl script ) into a file called test.htm and save it to your desktop.
Open it and it will include in the data from my guest book:

Now edit the code in function gbF() to use the data as you wish!

BT Internet had a guestbook. If I could wrap the data uploaded from the form as:
gbA[ count ] = new GB( name,email,postedOn,IPaddress,userfield1,userfield2,userfield3,userfield4,comments) later:- function gbF( name,email,postedOn,IPaddress,userfield1,userfield2,userfield3,userfield4,comments );and store this in http://ccgi.dougrice.plus.com/gb/gbookFXXX.js I could use this on my web pages.
Include remote guestbook and gbF() will be called once per entry.
<script language = "JavaScript" type = "text/javascript"
src = "http://ccgi.dougrice.plus.com/gb/gbookFXXX.js" >
</script>
The sailing club used BT Internet at first. I had an idea and modified a script I found online at: https://www.scriptarchive.com/guestbook.html
function gbF( name,email,postedOn,IPaddress,userfield1,userfield2,userfield3,userfield4,comments );I tried this out using Xitami on my Windows PC. A copy of the cgi script is at: early version
I recently found a very early versions: gbook_20010403.pl based on https://www.scriptarchive.com/guestbook.html
This worked and was later modified over the years. This required learning enough PERL.
At the time the server was accessed using a dial up modem over the landline.
Early notes and example: http://www.dougrice.plus.com/hp/gbbook/funcTable.htm
FTP this file to your web server's CGI area as TEXT, and set file permissions to "chmod 755" or execute (-rwxr-xr-x).
You will need to configure the examples to point to this script.
You will need to configure the script below to a directory that wish to save you guestbook in and can write to.
Now modify the examples to include your guestbook.
This script saves to a file gbookF<guestbook>.js where guestbook is passed up with the form.
The perl script at dougrice.plus.net saves to:
http://ccgi.dougrice.plus.com/gb/gbookF<guestbook>.js
Where <guestbook> is the value in the form field: guestbook
A version from 2003: guestbook_20030224.pl

Copy the code above into a file called guestbook.php and upload to your web server where you can run php pages.
I upload mine to http://ccgi.dougrice.plus.com/demo . You then need to point the guestbook form action to this PHP page.
<form name="F1" action="http://ccgi.dougrice.plus.com/demo/guestbook.php" method="POST" > <input type="text" name="guestbook" size="20" value="XXX" > </form>
Upload a file called gbookFXXX.js to http://ccgi.dougrice.plus.com/demo and make the file permissions writable.
Include the file: gbookFXXX.js in your web page using :
<!-- remote guestbook-->
<script>
function gbF( name,email,postedOn,IPaddress,userfield1,userfield2,userfield3,userfield4,comments)
{ // YOU WRITE THE BODY OF THIS FUNCTION TO EXTRACT THE DATA IN YOU GUEST BOOK
self.document.write( name+ ","+ email+","+ postedOn+","+ IPaddress+ "<BR>"+
userfield1+","+ userfield2+","+userfield3+","+ userfield4+","+comments+"<P>" )
} </script>
<!-- Include remote guestbook--> <script src = "http://ccgi.dougrice.plus.com/demo/gbookFXXX.js" language = "JavaScript" type = "text/javascript" >
</script>
An alternative to the cache busting code above is to use PHP server side, possibly with password controlled login.
<!--
<script>
now = new Date()
/* try some cache busting append the time to the URL to make it different, so the URL is not cached. */
self.document.write( '<scr'+'ipt src=https://www.adastralsailing.org.uk/apsc/gb/gbookFBookings_.js?'+now.getTime()+' language="JavaScript"> </scr'+'ipt>' )
</script>
-->
<script>
<?php
// only include data if logged in.
if ( $_SESSION["loggedin"] === "loggedin"){
// Read a file into a string
$str = file_get_contents("gb/gbookFBookings_.js");
// Check for errors
if ($str === false) {
// Handle error
echo "Error reading file";
} else {
// Print the file contents
echo $str;
}
}
?>
</script>
It is possible to use the idea in the PHP script, but the security MUST be considered
<?php
// Global Array with imported data
$gb=array();
function gbF( $name,$email,$postedOn,$IPaddress,$userfield1,$userfield2,$userfield3,$userfield4,$comments){
global $gb;
// load object
$r = array();
// adjust to requirements.
$r["name"] = $name;
$r["email"] = $email;
$r["postedOn"] = $postedOn;
$r["IPaddress"] = $IPaddress;
$r["userfield1"] = $userfield1;
$r["userfield1"] = $userfield2;
$r["userfield1"] = $userfield3;
$r["userfield1"] = $userfield4;
$r["comments"] = $comments;
// append object.
$gb[ count($gb) ]=$r;
// append object using name as index, and add count.
$gb[ "$name".count($gb) ]=$r;
// supply your own code to filter and load the data.
echo "==";

The code below loads from a file, but it does not call the PHP gbF() unless the file has the PHP tags <?php ?> inside it.
It is possible to get the guestbook script to wrap the php tags around each gbF() so you can still append each entry to the file.
<?php require 'gb/gbookFBookings_.js'; ?>
