inVINCEable Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I already have an exist site with several users that login via a simple hashed PW and a simple username. I want a simple database that would be easily integratable with minor adjustments to the software. Is there something that exists with this already ?

discomatt Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Are you talking about a database engine? SQLite, MySQL and PostgreSQL are all popular, and will be able to handle your task very easily. If you have to time you may also just want to make a simple flatfile DB yourself.

discomatt Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 You asked for a database... MySQL is a database engine, so I'm not entirely sure how you would integrate it.

DarkWater Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 You'll need to make your own if it's so custom because most of these forums just work "out-of-the-box" and don't really work with other database schemas easily. I mean, it can certainly be done, but it would take longer than writing your own forum.

discomatt Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I'd just rework your existing user base to work with a forum you choose.

Mchl Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Or see if you could import users' data into a forum database Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/122585-simple-re-adjustable-php-forum-that-integrates-nicely-into-existing-db/#findComment-633103 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkWater Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Or see if you could import users' data into a forum database I think it's unlikely that he has enough data stored in order to transfer the stuff that phpBB needs.

Sorry I didn't make myself clear, I would like it integrated into my DB, so it would use the users table that already exists.

That is one that I mean, but without modifying a ton of things. Just maybe simply adding a few things to an exist users table and adding the other tables is all i would want to do. Just wondering if there is something out there that exists like this.
