TalkBack is a richly featured comments script and guestbook script that uses PHP and mySQL. Comments can be added to any pages on your website. It uses Akismet anti spam blocking, configuration options, visitor subscriptions, email notices, themes, customizable templates, CSS styling, simple installation and easy yet powerfull administration. TalkBack is an on-going project under continuing development and support by the author. And it is free!

If you have been searching for a comments script or guestbook script to use on your website you are probably as frustrated as I was. A number of scripts exist but most are very basic and inadequate. Even the more fully featured scripts do not include satisfactory comments spam protection and often favor eye candy over functionality and ease of use. So I went to work. The result is TalkBack, simple yet powerful.

"The Best Darn Comment Script on the Web Today...Period!" says Jim at TeaDiscussion.com

TalkBack is free but donations are always appreciated, especially if you are using it on a commercial site or personal site that receives advertising revenue. If you want to remove the "Powered by TalkBack" link, a donation is required.

Requirements:

  • PHP 4.3 or higher on your web server
  • MySQL 3.23 or higher on your web server
  • For spam checking: an API key from a free WordPress account

I wanted a good comment system for a website I was creating. I wanted the ability to put it on multiple pages and be able to approve the comments, mark comments as spam, etc.

What I love is the spam is handled by Akismet. Which is what WordPress uses and it actually does a very good job at it. The backend of this is pretty straight forward. It separates the comments by pages. You can even style the comments however you want with CSS.

I've done a lot of searching for something like that and I still haven't found anything that can beat this awesome comment script. Give it a try.
