setting up a guestbook is a piece of cake provided you have the ability to run either CGI scripts or PHP scripts.

Do you have this ability? does your ISP allow this.

If not then your a stuffed if yes then we can progress a we bit further.

I can help you out if you have either of the above permissions.

get her to create a php file in wordpad and add the following text

<?php
phpinfo();
phpinfo(INFO_MODULES);
?>

then save it as test.php and upload it to her webserver.

make it executable

then from a web browser call the test.php script.

if it comes back as a bank page the hit refresh

hopefully it will come back with shed loads of info

it if comes back with nothing then the server is not php enabled and you are basically stuffed.

let me know how it goes.
