Fourm?

Anon

Hey is there any decent tuts on Forums? Like how to go about setting them up and everything like that? I have 3 differnet sites that need them and I dont want to outsource it. So is there any decent tutorials that will show kinda how to create an effective web forum? I will of course customize it and manipulate it so I am not plagirizing (I CAN'T SPELL) the rightful author. Thanks to anyone that knows some decent sites. Thanks!

I just went to that site and I don't know what I am looking at. Is it a program, or another language or what is it? Thanks!

you can build your own forum even if your a newbie. Simply by knowing the INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE and SELECT commands in mysql, and how to use mysql_query() and mysql_result() in php, it's not terribly hard. YOu can build it in a few hours.

How do you structure the DB that is my biggest question. I know about the listed statements its just actually setting up the database. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Well, on the page I sent you to it says:

"Phorum is an OpenSource web based discussion software application written in PHP."

It has programs for installation, setup, administration, and the forum itself. Click on the "About" tab for more information.
