Application for a site

[Hydrian]

I want to know if you can make a application that allows a user to make a post(topic) and allow other users to reply to that post. Is there any way to do this. If i can do that, i want to try and create a forum with it. And style it how i want it. And then maybe after beta testing upload it to my site. Please i want to know if this is possible, it would be good if this can happen.

 

Cheers Hydroo

Yes, you can do this. It's a lot of work because of security reasons. You will probably want to use a database like MySQL to store the posts.

There should be plenty of guides out there on this topic. Just make sure you also read some good security guides too.

You should come back when you got some coding done and you are stuck with something, or if you want some help with the security (but again, you will need to at least try to do it on your own first and be able to show us that).

Where would you suggest i start?

Your posting on a forum here aren't you? So... of course it's possible.

I get  Resource id #10  when i do 

<?php print $result; ?>

when i load my page.

 

Here is my page code

 

<?php

session_start();
include 'config.php';

mysql_select_db("my_db");

$result = mysql_query(" SELECT * FROM `categorys` ");
$result = mysql_query(" SELECT * FROM `topics` ");

$num = mysql_numrows($result);


?>
<?php include 'header.php'; ?>
	<div id="nar">
		 
	</div>
        <div id="content">
	<?php print $result; ?>
	</div>
	<div id="nar">
		 
	</div>
<?php include 'footer.php'; ?>

I think you need to take a second look on these two lines, latter one in particular:

$num = mysql_numrows($result);
<?php print $result; ?>

What did i do wrong?

Read about it here: http://no.php.net/mysql_query

[Hydrian]

Yeah what did i do wrong

[Hydrian]

Fixed it but it still shows

 

Resource id #10

[trq]

Then it is not fixed. You cannot echo a resource.
