POUnobtrusive, self-hosted comments function to put onto existing web pages

Body
copied!<p>I am building a new site which will consist of a mix of dynamic and static pages.</p> <p>I would like to <strong>add commenting functionality</strong> to those pages with <strong>as little work as possible</strong>. I'm curious as to whether such a solution exists in PHP.</p> <p>The ideal set of features would be:</p> <ul> <li>Completely independent from the surrounding page / site: PHP code gets dropped into page, a page ID is added, done.</li> <li>Simple "write a comment" form</li> <li>Comments for each page are displayed using a PHP function</li> <li>Nice, clean output of <code><ul><li>....</code> that can be styled by the surrounding site</li> <li>Optional Captcha</li> <li>Optional Gravatar sensitivity</li> <li>Minimalistic administration area to moderate/delete comments, no ACL, can protect it using .htaccess</li> </ul> <p>The ideal integreation would be like this:</p> <pre><code><?php show_comments("my_page_name"); ?> </code></pre> <p>this would 1. display a form to add a new comment that gets automatically associtated with <code>my_page_name</code>; and 2. display all comments that were made through this form using this ID.</p> <p>Does anybody know a solution like this?</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Bounty</strong></p> <p>I am setting up a bounty because while there were some good suggestions, they all point to external services. I'm really curious to see whether there isn't anything self-hosted around. If this doesn't exist yet, it sure would be great to see as an Open Source project. </p> </blockquote>
