looking for a php based system

Post by hobbit »

to create an updatable table of details of members (e.g. each member has some info put in fields). i need a system, something like PhpBB that does it all - takes care of login etc... every person can add or update their own details, and view others', possibly with someability to sort/query/filter the resulting table.

is there any such sytem available in php and ready to install and use?

thanks,

amit

p.s. apologies if this is not the right place to post this. any comment is welcome.

I have a few ideas, but are you looking for one that is more a bulletin board, more a social networking system..... etc?

well... more like a repository of details or a resource, so people can use it. (basically, it is a large community of people, who want their skills and expertise (as well as location etc...) listed and viewed by other members of the community.

in fact, I don't need to have a personalized login. just a password protected site, and the password will be circulated among community members.

it really should be something simple, and I hope there is such an engine available in open source. I just couldn't find one, and don't want to spend the time developing one myself.

It sounds to me like you're looking for a PHP framework.

Check these out:

thanks for the comments and links. I certainly learned some new stuff. however...

I don't think I want a form builder or a framework of some sort. I want something like phpbb or wordpress - a system that you install once, give a few definitions through an admin tool and....ready to go.

i guess there isn't something like that for such an easy site. maybe I should look at more complicated CMS, and build a small website through something like joomla.

any other thoughts?
