designerguy Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Hi all, As a student I have an assignment to create a php,mysql,xml based community site. I need some ideas about communities. Is there any online sites? I know googling will give me some. However I am asking the forum because most of you are already in the market and therefore I would like to get answers from professionals. I will need to keep it as simple as possible since the deadlines are very tight. Thanks in advance Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/141234-php-community/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardRotterdam Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 online community is a bit of a broad term. It could be a simple forum or a website with lots of functionality like myspace, facebook or what ever. Just ask your teacher what functionality should be in it.

designerguy Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 Thanks a lot for your replies. My teacher is asking us to provide the features so I would like to have it as simple as I can. Is there any online tutorial in regards to writing a forum or bulletin board with php,mysql and XML?

RussellReal Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 xml would probably be used as rss from a forum which would probably be your most difficult procedure as for php mysql building a forum is as simple as storingpost details in a database.. and user information, the rest is outputting the data into html format with php sorry if I sound ramblish but its really simplistic you really don't need a tutorial you just should give some brain power and you'll be fine Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/141234-php-community/#findComment-739295 Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 If you want to make an online "community" as simple as possible, incorporating a database, just make a guestbook.
