you say you are using IIS, you can stick with that and install PHP, although if you are not using ASP then i would reccomend using apache as your server, as this works better with PHP, and best of all is free! you can get an all in one package (including mysql) from here: http://www.bizzarserver.com/

i would prefer to use iis as i know it layout and what not better now and i have seen apache and i dont realy want it, so can you still help or what?
i have got it working but when i try to add an entrie to my quest book it gets mad and says"You cannot signup this guestbook at the moment". is that a permissions problem?

thanks

you can always just not use IIS at all and download and install WAMP, it uses apache as the server app, but it also has PHP and all other stuf packaged inside it. No work is needed at all and its alot more user friendly. Oh and btw it is free

I don't know much about PHP, have used it a little. But I believe for you to have a guestbook, you need to setup a database for it to be stored in.. right?

That is correct trizoy, in this scenario PHP is used as the interaction place between an SQL database and the users browser.
