Comment Script is a script that allows comments to be left on any existing PHP or HTML page. By default, Comment Script shows name, e-mail, homepage, title, and comment fields, though any can be disabled.

The "comment" field is mandatory and must be filled out before the form can be submitted. In order to prevent the script from being abused by automatic spam bots, you can enable the CAPTCHA feature.

The script then asks your visitors to enter a text they see in the image below the comment form into an input box. It also features an admin area where comments can be edited and deleted and the front-end language set.

Here are some key features of "Comment Script":
Visitors can enter a name, e-mail, homepage, comment title and comment text
Comment script can be included in existing web pages
To prevent comment spam you can enable the Captcha feature
Admin area for editing and deleting comments
Completely template driven
Installation routine

How the script works:
Once you have the script installed on your server you can include it in any existing PHP or HTML page. By default the script shows the form fields "name", "E-mail", "Homepage", "Title", and "Comment". You are free to remove some of the fields and only leave the ones you want.

The field "Comment" is mandatory and the form will not submit until that field has been filled out.
In order to prevent the script from being abused by automatic spam bots, you can enable the Captcha feature. The script then asks your visitors to enter a text they see in the image below the comment form into an input box. The comment will only be submitted if the strings match. Visitors have to ensure that their browser support and accept cookies, otherwise the comment cannot be verified.

The script also features an admin area where comments can be edited and deleted. Also there is a section for settings where you can set the front end language as well as the admin account.

Requirements:
Comment Script needs Apache webserver, PHP/4/5, a MySQL database on Windows, Unix or Linux operating system to function properly. You also need a software (WinZIP for example) to unpack the script files after downloading from our server. You should have a solid understanding of HTML and some experience with script installation.
