ggkfc Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 im a newbie programmer (only proficient in Visual Basic) but im interested in learning php + mysql, so i brought it on myself to see if i could clone hobowars (www.hobowars.com) it seems easy enuf. a mysql to contain information, php to do formulas equations. the forum system and view online etc, im sure i can just get from free source code places. but ive had some difficulty with user authentication (but it has worked- basic only) do you think my task is achievable and are there mentor places for some gurus to help out a newb? if there are any other newbs that would be interested in learning about php + mysql and want to be involved, pm me =) thanks, gg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcus Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 If you have like, one weeks knowledge of PHP, it's going to be a lot harder than it would be with 1 years knowledge. But yeah, recreating hobowars is possible, even though the site is pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
