looking for a particular tutorial

Post by dtilley »

Hi all,

I am a php newbie and am looking for a tutorial on how to build a wiki using php. I remember seeing one out in the world last year but can not seem to find it using google. If anybody knows of one I would love to find it.

thanks

Are you sure you want to build the Wiki, versus install an existing one? There are many, very good Wikis around.

it's more about the learning

The reason I am looking for that tutorial is that I thought it would be a fun way to learn. I am interested in collaboration software and though I would try building some bits, wiki, forums, to cut my teeth on php.

I am also selecting said software for use on a project .

thanks though.

if you are a n00b then i would recommend doing projects in this order:

text based shout box
mysql based news script
mysql based forum

after that you are ready to take on the little projects in the feelance world. after some practice in those you are good to go. that is what i did and it was really good for learning and now i do php for a living so i had to do somthing right along the way.

the wiki is done, been done 100000 times. plus it requires a lot of extra wowness. its best to make a crap script then be like, this next script will be better because of blah blah. then keep doing that till you are like, 'wow, im darn good arnt i'

thats what i believe at least...
