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.

Forgot to Say....

I forgot to say but one of the new features in Lazarus 1.10 is the Guestbook URL setting. You will find this in the General Settings section and needs to be set to the actual url of the guestbook. This should make it easier when integrating Lazarus into a site that uses PHP navigation as well as making it easier for me to code. Probably still some quirks I need to iron out regarding how this works but not noticed any problems yet.

Also just to add that there will not be any more major releases of Lazarus in the forseeable future. Rest assured I will be releasing new versions to fix bugs (work has already started on 1.10.1) but I wont be adding any new features at this time.

Just to clarify that I am not stopping work on Lazarus I am just stopping any major work at present whilst I focus on other things. I'm always dabbling in things with the intention of them making their way into Lazarus at some point but I am not intending on adding any of these things anytime soon.
