Sound like you eiether better get into PHP rather quickly, or chose a different guestbook.

If your example is supposed to be a real example, it fails. But then again, I am confused as to HOW you have arrived at the example URL you have given. Even presuming that you have the poll installed correctly, what is

~poll/pollphp/textfile

supposed to be? That is NOT a directory with which I am familiar. "KEY.GIF" should be in the directory

poll/images

. It would seem that you have something very mixed up.

			value for your server location)
		2. Insert the CSS Style Sheet values into the file that will display the calendar
		3. Insert following block of code into the file that will display the calendar

<?php
		   // Construct a calendar to show the current month
		   require("class_calendar.php");
		   $cal = new Calendar;
		   print $cal->getCurrentMonthView();
		   ?>

4. Upload the file modified to display the calendar.

If you don't understand the code, don't use it. If you don't understand PHP, don't use it.

The "jumpmenu" in the guestbook will only be usable after you have enough entries in your guestbook to warrant having pages to jump to!!!

Until then, you are only going to see the word "Guestbook" in whatever language you have selected. Any other "jumpmenu" would be one that you adapted to the guestbook.

If you need an example, see the Guestbook on this site.

Just one more item not covered:

You must CHMOD all of the files in the directory "templates" to 777.

If they are not, you may not edit changes to the templates in the Administration program. The directory is just fine as established as 755.

Andrew -

You have more problems. You do not know:

[*:0f67b2069b]PHP[*:0f67b2069b]mySQL[*:0f67b2069b]Your Username and Password (if you changed them)[*:0f67b2069b]How to use phpMyAdmin[*:0f67b2069b]How to contact your Host Company's Tech Support[*:0f67b2069b]etc.

You also come across as needing sleep or something.

I think you are mixing apples and oranges... not to hard to do when creating web pages with HTML and PHP. It seems to me that you are getting too involved with your path statement. For example:

If you have a URL for your domain as "http://www.mydomain.com/" and the Advanced Polls have been loaded into a subrirectory "polls" the references should be quite easy:

Then in the body of your page (where you wish to have the poll booth displayed:

Generally, <username> is the same for your host path, sql setup, etc. The host path is not quite the same as the URL for your website, but there is a definite relationship to the directory paths... just a different way of naming the path. All of this is presuming that the page you are loading is in a directory relative to the polls subdirectory, i.e. http://www.mydomain.com/mypolls.php.

Another question above: it is difficult to mix ssi includes and php. it would be better if you converted you ssi includes to php includes. That way you would be able to use the php extension. If you are dead set on using ssi includes, try a Google search as well as the online PHP manual at:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/

Hope this helps.
