hi
i want to make a little "leave a comment" space for my site.

what do you think is the best way to go about it?
i def. want to make it from scatch, instead of getting it from someplace else.

should i use cgi, asp... or anything else?

Thanks!

Just go with what is most familiar to you. If you don't know any of those languages... I would recommend PHP. It's easy to learn and powerful. ASP and Perl are also good choices.

Are you just going to have a form that your guests fill out? Then you just need a PHP script to process the form... and then a place to view recently added comments. It shouldn't be too hard or time consuming.

my domain name/hosting is on windows, i thought windows servers support asp instead of php... but i might be wrong.

either way. i'v never done any php, but as i understand asp - is similar to vb.net...? right? and i took couple classes of that in school.

is it possible to do it in java? i'm taking it right now, and it seems pretty cool.

Windows can suport both but you the server needs to have PHP installed on it. You might not be able to take full advantage of some of the libraries though that PHP has.

In Windows / ASP, you have ASP components and on *NIX, you need to have ChiliASP installed but a lot of the ASP components will not function properly on *NIX.

I would use PHP, if you don't know any specific language. In my opinion is the best language to start with, and very powerful to create everything your mind will tell you

i finally got it to work.
i used webwiz forums... it's ok, but has some bugs...
if anyone could help me, i'd be more than happy to share my problems and issues with the forum members here at gid
