Comment system? Rating System? Post forms to there own page?

Post by FireElement »

Hello people!

Below are some great links to handy tutorials and websites that are useful to most people serious about web design. I was kind of hoping people would post more handy tutorials on more advance level or more towards what am trying to do at the minute, if possible.

I am currently trying to do a website for myself just to do it to get better at coding in general. I have done fair few tutorals there are loads on youTube with people running through live code and its great way to learn a lot of the basics. I have learned how to do a lot of php, like create a basic form get the data on that form varified, recorded on sql database, and printed out below in record format.

Anyways let me get to the point. I am trying to make website where I get the user to post tips on stuff, could be out. There will be a form with 'Name', 'Age', 'Email', 'Website url', 'Type of Tip' (select box with few catagories) 'Title' and 'Tip'. The info on this form will be varified and placed in sql database and then this is where it gets complicated not sure how to do it but placed on its own page.

There will be comments system below this tip so people can rate and comment this infomation. Kinda like amazon page. There is text at top about the product or in this case the users tip on somet, then comments about the product or in my case it will be about the tips and grading/rating system for the user to input for the product ot in this case it will be about the tip.

I dont want to make a log in on this site as yet I just want to learn for now how to make basic form. Get each row of date pushed out on to a new page. Then make another basic page to search through the sql database and out put any of the pages they search for. The Site will be made up of four static pages and sql database. First page home page saying on this site you can add tips about anything you want could be how to save money, could be cooking, etc. The Second page will be ad your tip. This page will have the above form mentioned. This will get sent to the database and then displayed on a php generated page which will allow the tip to be rated and commented on. The third page will be the search for tip or view tips page. Which allows users to search for tips. This will work by searching the sql database. The fourth will be basic contact us page in which I have already wrote a form which allows the user to email me via. Its email form.

I would really like any tutorals that any one thinks would be handy to help me do this! It would be great to get anything which people think is useful to help me. Be it a book, dvd, website tutorial. Anything!!

This is a very good little script/tutorial on how to make a simple forum!!

http://www.phpeasystep.com/workshopview.php?id=14

This should allow me to work out the first half of what I wanted to do anyways.

That is make a simple form go on to many pages and allow them to be commented on. I will make a basic rating system myself not to complicated to do I dont think select box and submit button and null box on database that stores basic ratings or returns null, using ip address to make sure they only rate it once etc. meh will see later.

What do you mean does anything like the exist for php? You mean like a site where you can add general tips. Well normal there is forum in specific area and people just go to that and add there tips like that. I think... not sure what you mean....

Railscasts isn't about PHP, it's about Ruby on Rails (a different server side language and framework).

It's great for what it is, but again, it's not PHP. I assume you're interested in focusing on PHP for now.
