Recommended Posts

Hello,

i am not exactly a total newbie, i know all the basics abt PHP which i learned from a book.

 

Now i wanna start a blog of mine, i can use available templates etc. for this purpose but the thing is i wanna learn and practice PHP also so dunt wanna try ne shortcuts.

 

I need little suggestions, techniques, clues..

  • How to start programing my blog?
  • May be few stupid answers also like.. how to set a new post editor, and should a blog post be stored in a variable "$junepost01" or should it be in .txt ?
  • Concept of 'tags', which are used in blogs to identify posts and seo, how to implement this concept in PHP?
     

 

And any other thing please, i know things but i just don't know how to implement them and from where to start i this is making me feel really bad. please help me out of it.

thankyou.

your gonna want to learn some mysql to.... but start with some simple stuff like I like to start from the back to the front first make your admin panel make login area for you then make the post a new topic a good thing you might want to do is download a full already done blog script and learn from that.

Every person learns differently, personally I would probably download WordPress and decipher the code to understand how everything works.

 

Another option would be to use one of the tutorials online, if you search Google for "php blog tutorial" you'll find quite a few walk throughs.

MySQL is a great addition to learn before working with some blogging in PHP. WordPress is not the best software to decipher codes from, but it's highly one of the most effecient.  I cannot find another one more efficient and effective as this one.

 

<echo "Good Luck!"

How to start programing my blog?

I'd would say don't do that. First start out by deviding your blog app in smaller chunks.. It will be easier to build your blog when you have a good understanding what it exactly is that you are going to build. Start programming after that.

 

May be few stupid answers also like.. how to set a new post editor, and should a blog post be stored in a variable "$junepost01" or should it be in .txt ?

I think a database would be better then using a text file. You'll find tons of tutorials on how to use PHP in combination with MySQL. You don't have to use MySQL though.

 

Here are some other db options:

  • Sqlite(a flat file database)
  • Postgresql
  • MSSQL

You could use a txt file but I don't recommend that.

Concept of 'tags', which are used in blogs to identify posts and seo, how to implement this concept in PHP?

Not sure what you mean with that. I wouldn't really worry about SEO at first. As you mentioned you just want to learn PHP. just have fun building your blog.

 

With the word "tags" what do you mean? Do you mean tagclouds? or do you mean that you want to edit your text as you were editing a document using word or something similar? If you want to edit your blog like that I suggest you use google and search RTE(Rich Text Editor)? Or do you mean something completely different?
