Guestbook questions

[Kon-Tiki]

At the moment, my guestbook looks like this. It's looking great already, but I'm missing a couple more things. I want to have two drop-down menu's, one for changing the font's size and one for changing the font's color. I can easily make those, but I don't know how to get its value passed on to the comment-part, like with the smilies or other tags.

Second thing is that I want to limit the amount of entries on a page. Say after 15 entries, it puts the next in a new page, preferably while the input fields stay above it. I was thinking of adding a mark above each entry and have it check them, a variable counting up to 15 and if it reached that, switch to a new page. Two problems arise here though. One is that I've got to avoid people adding that mark, or it'd mess the guestbook up, the other is that I don't know how to code it. From all the help you guys can give, I appreciate pushing in the right direction most and just giving the code for it the least, as this is still for me to train in php, and copy-paste doesn't get me to learn and understand as well as finding the code myself, even if I've been given alot of hints as to how to do it.

Pushing you to the right direction: http://www.php.net/manual/nl/ ::)
First question: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.v ... ternal.php
Second question:
Scrap include();.
Scrap all the \n-s in fwrite();.
Insert one \n in the end of the line, so each post is saved into the text file as one line
Use file(); to read the file as an array, each element ending with \n (that's why you removed them before).
Use count(); to count all the elements in the array.
Now you should know what to do next.
Good luck!

Guestbook is finished. Now all there needs to be done, is optimizing the code so it runs quicker. Problem is that I don't have any idea or experience how to go about such a thing ::)
Anyway, code is here
