Having had a few hours free last night and being part of a rather quirky IRC server I decided to code up a clone of Bash.org’s quote database system. My script replicates and clones bash.org almost entirely and has the following features:
- Stores an almost infinite number of quotes or comments.
- Allows users to rate comments up or down and has minimal duplicate voting protection.
- Optional captcha system on ‘add a quote’ page.
- Search, Random, Browse & Other Bash.org features.
- Admin/moderation option to delete quotes.
The script is also surprisingly simple and is all contained within one file. After running the SQL within that file you can drag and drop it into anywhere on your server and it will work immediately.
You can see a demo of it in action here (be warned: this section of the site is NOT safe for work and contains offensive material).
You can download the IRC quotes database script here. To install simply run the SQL statements within the php file in MySQL, edit the settings and upload. It’s extremely simple to setup and use and you can customize the look, feel and layout all from the .php file.
If you use this script on your site please let me know and I’ll put up a link to you here or leave a comment with your URL. Feel free to remove the ‘powered by’ but if you do, please consider making a small donation to make it worth my while.
You can discuss this article and see what others are saying about it in the PHP Discussion Forum

Awesome, gotta try it.
Mhh,when I’m trying to add a new quote, only open a white page with nothing on it
oh nvm, I’ve to add the reCaptcha thing or set it to false, now, I can’t add a new quote, it prints “Quote not added.”, what can I do?
Sounds like a cool script! Very nice “plain-text” look to it
The link doesn’t work, could some one please reupload it I would love to use it for my quotes.
