Ok heres the deal. I completely suck. Ive only spent like a couple days learning php and all ive learned is like how to echo things. I want to learn how to set it up that i can post my own news. Can anyone help me with this and another thing is that would i need a database for this?Sorry for such a stupid quesiton probably to you guys but if any one could help ide be happy.
thanks.

If you have only learnt to echo things to the browser then there are many other parts of PHP you will need to learn in order to create an online news system. I would recommend that you get yourself a good book and stick at learning the basics first. If you start at the beginning and learn the fundamentals, then the more complex and powerful aspects of the language will be easier to grasp later on.

To create an online news system worth its salt you will need to employ the functionality of a database. MySQL is great.

Happy coding! You'll get there.

Cheers, Ben
