l2oca Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Hey, I'm pretty new to PHP. I've been reading up on the basics and although I've got a slight grasp I feel like I'm far from achieving my goal. I have a few questions to ask. I think I should first explain what I'm trying to do. I'd like to make a community site that is similar to facebook and myspace in that it has a profile page where you can upload photos albums and post comments on the photo albums/profile page. I'd also like to incorporate a community forum into the mix for people to discuss different topics and ask for help while still maintaining their identification through their profile. I'm wondering, what topics I should focus on/lookup while studying PHP to help me figure out how to add these features sooner. -A login system -Photo album creation ability with the option of commenting -Website content that changes depending on who is logged on - so like if Bob visited Becky's page, Bob wouldn't see what Becky would see if she were logged on - which would be the options for editing info. Finally, I'd like to know if it would be recommended to use a software framework to begin this website or not. If so which would you recommend?

TEENFRONT Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Honestly If your new to PHP, forum software is a good place to start. Install a forum on your server, learn how it works, add a few mods to it etc get used to editing files, php etc. Then learn how to add your own mods to the forum. Reason i say this is cause its how i learnt, the forum has its own login system, its own gallery mods etc etc. Before you go ahead and make your own, id experiment with a forums pre-coded mods to get used to it. You can then dabble in creating your own pages based off the forum login system etc etc. trust me if works like a treat and you will be reading to code solo no time.

cooldude832 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 what is a good free framework to start working with? phpBB is decent, however realize that working on phpBB or Joomla or any other framework is going to run you into some bad techniques.
