    Hi,

    Can you provide us with the complete error message?

    Have a nice day,

    Oh yes! I was thinking that something was missing in my message :)



    At first, this was the error message I had, then I made some changes to line "3" as indicated.

    Now, I invite you to go check the "reviews" tab on my site and leave a review; you’ll see that I now have another error message displayed. It’s a Free page that opens saying "error 500"... I don’t know how to fix it.

    The site in question: http://lenaphotography.free.fr/guestbook.html

    Then, here’s what I did on the MySQL server of Free.fr:

      Hello,

      At Free, the "host" server address is "http://sql.free.fr" and not "lenaphotography.sql.free.fr".

        Oh, I didn't know that :) I will fix it to see what it does.
        Thank you!

        Another clarification, at Free, 3 versions of PHP and MySQL are available, and the choice is made using a .htaccess file placed at the root of the site. Depending on the version chosen, the PHP and MySQL code used will not be the same.

        This .htaccess file is located at the root of my site. I created it for my contact form (which still doesn't work, by the way).

        It says:

        <IfDefine Free>
        php56 1
        </IfDefine>

      If you are using the guestbook offered by Free, I think there is a problem at the moment. Moreover, it is no longer maintained.

      No, it's a golden book that I created myself... but the messages are not posting and so I created a table in the free MySQL file.
      Actually, I'm not sure. Is there another solution for the messages left to be posted? Without necessarily going through free?

      If your site is hosted on Free's personal pages, you need to use Free's servers, they work relatively well.

      I don't have the courage to review all your code, my eyes hurt.

      There are guestbook scripts compatible with Free's requirements:

      Guestbooks (with SQL database)

      @lexguestbook
      Chopin
      El Coyotos (if paired with captcha anti-spam)
      GreatWebBook
      GuestBook
      Lazarus
      myPHPscripts Guestbook
      QuickTalk
      Script Winn Guestbook

      Alright, I'll check that out, but with these scripts will I be able to keep my own design or will it completely change?

      In principle, it is always possible to use your own stylesheet.

      Before using a script, check that it is compatible with the PHP and MySQL version of your server.

    Otherwise, if another person can read my code, it would be nice to help me understand this error message from Free.

    Thank you.

      For the error message, it is due to this part of the code: 

      <form method="POST" action="http://perso0.free.fr/cgi-bin/guestbook.html" id="lenaphotography" action="guestbook.php" onSubmit="return addPost(this)" >


      The action redirects to "http://perso0.free.fr/cgi-bin/guestbook.html"

      Alright, and where is it supposed to redirect to, do you know?

      To your PHP page that processes the data submitted by your form, that is, guestbook.php, if I understand correctly.

      Indeed, this is the right page, and it's precisely at this moment that I encounter the very first error :)

      line 3: define ("HOST", "http://sql.free.fr");

      even after modification, the error persists.

      In this part of the code, I also modified "host"; previously I had this: 

       function initDB ($host="lenaphotography", $user="lenaphotography", $pwd="monmotdepasse", $database="lenaphotography")


      now I've set it the same as above: 
       function initDB ($host="sql.free.fr", $user="lenaphotography", $pwd="monmotdepasse", $database="lenaphotography")

      You also have an error on this line:

      function initDB ($host="lenaphotography"

      the variable $host is probably not "lenaphotography", but in my opinion, "http://sql.free.fr".
