View Full Version : Posting Comments on Entries in a Database?

Here's what I'm trying to do:

I have a website, where I want to create a database of entries. As in instance, let's say I'm trying to make a database of books. Now there'll be multiple fields for each book-- price, publisher, genre, etc. But also, I'd like viewers to be able to post their opinions, kinda like Amazon.com (no, I'm not planning to copy their model).

Also I'd like to be able to screen those comments before they go live, that is, I don't want comments to be posted immediately. I want to either approve or reject them.

Any script, software or program (preferably open source) that will let me do this?

Thanks! :confused:

If you're writing your own system for the entries, etc, you may as well write your own add-on for the reviews.

Or, you could always using something like Wordpress or another blog-based software that already has inbuilt comments, which you can moderate...

Set up a another table in your Database and have the comments be posted there with the same ID, then extract the ID from both tables and display them together.
