I need a project......Learing PHP

Heya all. Been a while since I posted here last, but I'm back now ( unfortunately, I'm sure, for some heh ). Anyways, I'm looking for a new project to tackle. I've been honing my php skills, and trying new things, but I can't seem to figure out where to go next...

I've created a login page, an Administrative page ( add/remove/edit user information, server information, etc... ), created a security checker ( checks all ports being used/closed/exploitable ), a Data-Entry Page, Email forwarding, Port Tunnelling, and TCP/IP Configuration Page, but now I'm at a standing block again. I strive to learn new technology, new ideas, and harder tasks. I want something that is going to make me work hard to figure it out, and then enjoy it once it's done.

Does anyone have an idea of what I could try and design through php now? That is, something that while designing it, I'm also learning something new at the same time? Thanks 8O

Try XML

XML is an important technology right , try doing something with XML. Maybe build a parser that reads a xml file to a database, or dump a database table to XML.

sweeet, thanks for the tip ;) Never really fooled around much with XML. Hell, I don't even know what it is used for. What is XML ( of course, I dont expect a detailed explaination, just a comparison between XML and another object maybe would suffice? ).

Thanks ;)

You want a challenge try building a forum or a classified page. There are alot of different things involved with each of these. Times, expirations and much much more.
