Coding for a simple Discussion(Message) Boards

Post by silverstar »

What im basically looking for is coding for a simple Discussion(Message) Board, where a user can basically post a message(like i have done) to which multiple users can reply to.

Ive only just started learning php and my sql so if anyone can help me can you please give instruction as to what to name the files and what i will have to change. I have already tried some codes but they all have multiple files which are to complicated.

Can anyone help me please!!

Any help will be greatly appreciated...Thanks in advance!

mysql is the easiest storage structure. Discussion board requires username, logins, posting, and replying for the simplist features, therefore you are required multiple page. I recomend getting a free discussion board (like this one) from hotscripts.com. The installation should be fairly simple.

This forum is hugely bloated for someone that just wants a simple discussion board.

Here, try reading through this.

Keep it nice and simple to start with. The first thing I ever coded in PHP was a forum.

Good luck!
