But the problem is I am doing this for a client and they have
absolutely no idea on how to set up a sql table etc etc. That is why
I need it simple. I need the guestbook to be a basic flat-text file.
Nothing fancy what so ever.

I do appreciate your help on the apache setup though. I will probably
have to set it up since I have to test my php files.

Any other ideas?
