I'm trying to learn more about php and i specifically want to write a page where i can add news items, kind of like a blog might. With an admin password that it validates and shows a form, type whatever in the form and then submit it, and it adds it to the page in a newest to oldest order.
And....................................?
Did you get stuck after typing <?php ?
Plenty of stuff like this on the board. Just look for maybe "authentication" for the whole admin password thing. And "inserting to mysql" for how to store the records.
Yea take it step by step, im still kind of a n00b at PHP and ive found that when working on big projects its better to make everything in peices and than combine them so you can focus to perfect each section of the scipt, and a lot less confusing. The project you want to do is pretty simple.. You need to learn how to authenticate users with PHP, and how to connect to a mysql database and add rows and than ORDER them descending(the easyest part)..
well gL!
