Alright, alright. I know it took way to long for me to get around to updating guestMap, but I finally did it. Mainly, I put the code in process.php back into a function, inside a class due to the fact that IE has a problem with the code if it's not inside a function.

I have finally finished a working and fairly stable version of PHP guestMap. This is a web based application that allows people that visit your site, to click on a map of the world, and insert their information, and place a "marker" on your map.

Once I have completed a better working version, I will release it for download. So tell all your friends to come check it out.
