moley Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I have been getting into PHP recently and have started a little 'social network' project to learn from and test my development. So far I've gotten my head around the MYSQL and login/registration scripts as well as denoting certain pages for logged in members as opposed to the home page (for example) that everyone can see. The problem I now have is with the accounts, I know what I want but I haven't a clue on how to code what it is I am wanting, nor the knowledge of where to start. It's the basic things such as; Inboxes and messaging system, forums, friends guestbooks, blogs, videos pictures etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moley Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 What I would like is a little point in the right direction in order to know how to start developping these parts on my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrXHellboy Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Could you please ask specific questions as it is quite relative (your questions). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moley Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 For the messaging system between members, how would I go about starting to code the script that would allow them to message between themselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrXHellboy Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 DB: Table: members, member_data, private_messages You have to use JOINS for this @ PHP. Create class for DB connection. Set-up JOINS. The PHP code will follow when you're busy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moley Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Does it need to be a new DB table or can i use the members from the login/register DB and add the member_data along with the private_messages? Also, what would the member_data field be used for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
