Over my head !

Post by PHP007 »

Hello everyone,

I stumbled upon this forum a while back and have been lurking around and reading posts. I have a new PHP project to work on and here is what the client needs:

A subscription based membership (payable through paypal?), the membership side would have a forum, chat, and each member would have their own profile page. I have tried putting this together but I think this might be over my head. Does anyone know of any sites that would help me with codes and sniplets? OR does anyone know of any pre written scripts that just do this? Also if anyone on this forum has written such program, please message me.

Thanks!

Nah he wants help. Look into Mambo. Try hotscripts.com. phpBB is a free forum.

Hey buddy, I never said that.

What I meant was if you guys have such scripts already written, I can pay you for it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have looked into phpBB, but the problem is when a user logs into the membership site, then they would have to relogin to the forum to post.

What is Mambo?

It's not difficult to log someone into phpBB and the rest of the site at the same time if you know what you're doing.

There is a premade website contraption called PHP-Nuke quite versatile. It may take some getting used and learning how to set everything up, but it has a user page, forums, and other stuff. It may be just what you are looking for... or maybe not, but check it out anyway. There are many others similar to this as well. Mambo is one i assume... I have never seen Mambo (just did a google search to get the website to make things a little easier... i hope i got the right url), but if it is a CMS like PHP-Nuke is, they can't be too different. Another is phpWebSite

I have worked with both PHP-Nuke and phpWebSite, but i don't remember if phpWebSite has forums by default... it's been a while since i have worked with it, and i didn't do a whole lot with it anyway....

But those are just some examples.... There are many more.

Do you know of any online tutorials that will guide you with this?

Sorry, no. I normally don't look for tutorials.

Why would you use Mambo instead of Joomla..?

I dont think PHP-Nuke is any more a security problem than mambo or joomla or any other "premade website contraption"
But ya... a security risk regaurdless i'm sure...
It was just a thought, and if nothing else, perhaps he could look at the way things are setup to get an idea... but then again... it may not be worth the hassle of figureing everything out just to possibly get an idea...
