Making Guests Have to Register before using Shoutbox

[Tony]

you simply have to check if the user is logged on or not, it's probably one or two lines of code, are willing to pay anything for this function?

Programmers seem to suffer the same fate as starving artists

open up the shoutbox.php

find

PHP Code:

    if ($isloggedin!="yes") {
        $user = "Guest";
        }
    $comment = $comment;
    mysql_query("INSERT INTO ".$prefix."shoutbox VALUES ('', '$user', '$date', '$comment')");
    $article_content = $article_content."<p>Your comment has been posted. Click <a href='shoutbox.php'>here</a> to view it.</p>"; 


I would suggest

PHP Code:

    //if a user is logged in then allow them to post and let them know
    if ($isloggedin=="yes") {
    mysql_query("INSERT INTO ".$prefix."shoutbox VALUES ('', '$user', '$date', '$comment')");
    $article_content = $article_content."<p>Your comment has been posted. Click <a href='shoutbox.php'>here</a> to view it.</p>";
        }
     else{
    $article_content = $article_content."<p>You can not post with out logging in.</p>";
     } 


And why does $comment = $comment; is just beyond me.....

EDIT:
oh, not that i am super concerned by this; This type of questions would better fit the Questions and Supports forum as it more of a technical issue.
