Guardian-Mage Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Wow, ambitious aren't you? I suggest you get a firm understanding of XHTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, and SQL. An excellent website with tutorials is www.w3schools.com Then I suggest you buy or take out books from your library on PHP and SQL. After that you will probably have enough understanding to start, and practice will improve your skills. -Brandon Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/46983-help-making-a-profile-style-site/#findComment-229117 Share on other sites More sharing options...
