Lazarus is a free guestbook script written in PHP that uses your MySQL database for storage and is based upon the excellent Advanced Guestbook script from Proxy2.

I took the Advanced Guestbook and added more features and several layers of anti spam protection to make one of the most feature rich and spam resistant guestbook scripts available for free.

I am always active on the forums and you can rest assured that if the spammers find a way past the current anti spam methods that I have others waiting in the wings. You can read my own guestbook to see what other people have had to say about Lazarus and my anti spam fixes for Advanced Guestbook.

Coming Soon...

Just thought I'd post to keep you informed as to what's to come in the next release.

Changelog for 1.14

Fixed - Not stripping slashes when reporting an error with magic quotes enabled
Fixed - Error box preview not respecting your chosen background colour

Changed - Rewrote a huge portion of the JavaScript
Changed - External JavaScript file is now gzipped if the browser accepts Gzip
Changed - If set to hidden comments appear/disappear with a sliding effect
Changed - Smileys now appear in a sliding box instead of a pop up box

Added - Ability to preview changes made to error box styling

Next I intend to give you the ability to set the font colour for the text above the guestbook and possibly begin the move from using tables to using divs.

See next post for a very early beta.
