ok i am so new to forum building that i really dont even know how to up load imagaes on my new forum. I may be coming here quite a bit for some help. thank you in advance. 
very much a newbie
do a search for it on google........you'll find something.......
can you show us any code you may already have done.... that's a good place to start.
If you havent already, I say pick up a good PHP 5 for beginners book.
