Hi there, I am a noob at HTML so please bare with me...

I have an internet site set up, and
here is what i'm trying to acheive:

i'm putting links to other people's webpages ("guest book/post comment" section) on my website, I want to make it so when they click one of these links, it opens it up within my own website.

then when they click "submit comment", it will record somewhere that they have submitted a comment on that person's site.


would someone be willing to help me out?

You will need to get databases set up to work with this. That means you will be needing to have server-side support (I suggest PHP, but there are a number of other server side languages out there that can accomplish the same thing).

What you will need to do is create a database with a talbe for the links, and one for the comments (the links and comments will be connected by a unique id between the 2; thus all links have a different id and all comments have the id of the link they are for).

Then you will need to create a php file that takes a user's input and adds it to a database. and another file that gets all the comments for a specific link.

Hope that helps.

I'm not entirely sure what you are after... But if you want a simple visitor counting code:
CODE
<?php
$fn=fopen("visits.txt","w");
fwrite($fn,file_get_contents("visits.txt")+1);
fclose($fn);
?>
This uses php to create a .txt file with a number in it, that number is the number of views on that page.

Note that you will need to create visits.txt and put 0 in it to get it started.
