I have this idea for a website but im not really sure how to get it going. I know the basics of PHP and somewhat knowledge with MySQL but still need help figuring out how to do this. Basically, the website will be a site where a user can sign up, fill out his/her profile, and have their own page. I want a site where people post their own stories from whatever and then their friends (who they have accepted as friends) can read their stories, post a comment or two and then rank the story. Then, the rankings will be posted on the front of the page. I would like the profiles and social aspect of it be somewhat like MySpace or Friendster, but just not so satanic. If anyone can help me out by tossing some scripts, tutorials, lingo or whatever my way id be thrilled. Or if you really wanna make my day, IM me or email if youre an experienced programming.

Thanks.

    Sounds like a fun project.

    You will have to learn PHP and MySQL to support the website. So, I suggest starting with a few good tutorials to get the basics under your belt.

    PHP

    MySQL

    Have fun on your new journey/adventure in PHP programming. I think you will enjoy it.

    Make sure to post any questions as they arise... AFTER you tried to solve them yourself. There should be plenty of people here to help you out.

    Hope that helps.
