HOW DO I BUILD A WEB FORUM USING PHP AND MYSQL
I am very glad to be in this forum.
Please, I have been programming in PHP. I just got introduced and have gone a reasonable extent in learning to program in PHP.
Now, I want to know how to build a nice web forum using PHP and MySQL.
I believe there are answers in this forum for that.
Please help me by either referring me to a complete tutorial on how to do it step by step or you can give me a tight tutoria;

Thanks

Hi,

I've moved your post for you, as you put it in the wrong forum ;)

Regarding tutorials on building PHP sites and using MySQL, the best around (IMO) is DevShed.com. Here are some direct links to their site:

You need to learn the basics of a PHP script first, and then once you have that grasped, you can look into using MySQL databases and other more advanced features of PHP. Its not an overnight thing to learn - so the best idea is to take your time through each section, and absorb what you're being shown - so it stays in your mind (and you don't have to keep going back to re-learn certain functions / ways of calling stuff :)

Hope that helps.

Cheers
