[sessions inside functions?]

mark me as a noob for this one...but I never thought of put sessions inside functions for some reason...this could prove interesting. neat 

[Ok I am done with tutorials!]

as stupid as it sounds, i tend to just hit a site like http://www.codango.com/ and browse around...if I see a script idea that seems interesting, but feel its something I could recreate in a more effective manner in some way or other...I go after it.  This makes you learn some n ew stuff while really analyzing the end result based on usability and practicality...just a fun little excercise for me personally.

 

Now, inarguably, I could have time much better invested if I would just focus on a bigger project of some sort...but I tend to be too easily disinterested after a while.

 

Good luck in your quest.

[how to create forum using PHP code]

In all honesty, if you are interested start taking a look of the code of open source php form applications.

 

This is a great idea...I've always learned the most tearing into projects pepole have already done...

 

http://www.codango.com/ has a bunch of forum applications you could experiment with.  One of them may already do exactly what you want anyway.

 

Good luck though 

[Writing PHP]

Hey, I remember this utter confusion once upon a time too 

 

I ended up finding some nice helper WAMP applications from http://www.codango.com/...though looking at it again I cant recall which...lol, how sad is that?

 

Anyway, check it out on the site and see if one of the automated installers gets you on track

 

Good luck!
