Good CGI Commenting System

[Heywood]

Does anyone know of a good CGI commenting system, (or php even) like Userfreindly uses, or Fark.com? I am looking for something to work with, I dont feel comfortable writing something like this from scratch, for security reasons. Wondering if anyone had any good tips.

I know the slashcode is all perl... so if you like their layout, I'd suggest taking a look at that.

Why don't you try writing your own?

It isn't too hard to write a small flatfile database in perl.

Perhaps have each line contain the userhandle and their comments?

I would do it as follows
<Message ID>::<UID>::<Message>

Then have your program read in the information, but not neccesarily print out the Message ID. With the Message ID, you would be able to keep track of how many messages/comments are posted on your site. Please let me know if I can help you out on this if this is sort of what you are looking for.

I could try and write something up if you like, email me at rueben26 AT hotmail DOT com

I appreciate the offer of help. An email from me should be in your box. I am wondering though, if I would be easier to do it in PHP. I am not an expert at either, so It wouldn't hurt to use the simpler method.

I recieved no email.

Unfortunetly I do not know any php. I do know some perl.

What is your email address or email me again at rueben26@hotmail.com
