Forum with time limits

Hello,

I'm somewhat new to PHP but I know a little. I want to build a forum style website but I want to implement a time limit for each post. For instance, there is a list of each person registered on the forum in order of which they are to post. Lets say I am the first to post. The next person has 2 days to post their addition before it goes to the next person in the list. I'd also like it to email a reminder to the person as their time comes up. Is this possible?

So no one has even a simple yes or no answer? I'm not looking for anyone to write code for me. I'm just not sure where to start.

hey JD, yes it's possible. One of my favorite mantra's has always been "Anything is possible, it's just a matter of my time and your money". If you're new to PHP, a forum is a large task to take on. I know it can be frustrating if you have a super huge goal like that just starting out. As to where to start, this forum you're reading is a great place. There is a wealth of knowledge awaiting you behind every post title. I would recommend trying to build little things until you can get a good grasp of the language. The reason no one has responded to your post (till now) is because your question is like asking a bunch of bridge engineers where to start when building a steel trussel bridge for a train. It's not impossible but you might be best starting out learning about things first and maybe attempting a bridge made of wood across a small stream instead. I hope this doesn't discourage you. Best of luck in your quest to true PHP enlightenment.
