How can PHP beginners ensure that guestbook entries are displayed in the correct chronological order?

To ensure that guestbook entries are displayed in the correct chronological order, beginners can add a timestamp to each entry and then sort the entries based on this timestamp in descending order before displaying them.

// Assuming $entries is an array of guestbook entries with timestamps

// Sort entries in descending order based on timestamp
usort($entries, function($a, $b) {
    return strtotime($b['timestamp']) - strtotime($a['timestamp']);
});

// Display entries
foreach ($entries as $entry) {
    echo $entry['timestamp'] . ': ' . $entry['message'] . '<br>';
}
