I don't see a problem. did you fix it already? also you don't have any <html> tags so you might have a problem with the whole page itself.

No fix yet :(

As I thought <html> didn`t help.

The guestbook itself is fine, the problem comes whenever you type a new line (enter/return) then the result is: Hello<BR><BR>Whats up?

// When specialchars are to be replaced...
$comment=htmlentities($comment);
$name=htmlentities($name);
$url=htmlentities($url);
$email=htmlentities($email);
$bosted=htmlentities($bosted);

// When ASCII Linebreaks should become <br>s
$comment = nl2br($comment);

You see?

why are you using htmlentities?

use htmlspecialchars();

$comment=htmlspecialchars($comment);
$name=htmlspecialchars($name);
$url=htmlspecialchars($url);
$email=htmlspecialchars($email);
$bosted=htmlspecialchars($bosted);

and then use

$comment = ereg_replace("(\r\n|\n|\r)", "<br>", $comment);
