Flat-File GuestBook is a simple-single file guestbook application without database written in PHP. Instead, the user data will be stored into a text file.
Download and extract the file to get a guestbook folder. Copy the folder and it’s contents then paste to your localhost folder.
Now open http://localhost/guestbook/index.php with your favorite browser. Done!
