PHP questions |

hello all.. im trying to build an interactive page for my local artist website,
what php software is best to create a page which users can freely add data to a forum type thing.
can you create forums with php programming.
do you need database storage support to do this...

If you're looking for dedicated forum software, then try phpBB, which is the same kind that MT.org uses. See the link at the very bottom to get there.
Other BBS's include Invision Power Board, Ikonboard (I don't recommend, yeck), SMF, Proboards and YaBBSe (which I use). There are tons more. |

Yes, you thought correctly. Look for mod sites and forums. They might have answers to your questions already. Here's one place... http://www.phpbbhacks.com . phpBB also has its own forum, of course... http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB . |

But it would probably be wise to have at least a basic understanding of PHP code before trying to change things in the forum codes. Otherwise chances are pretty big you'll end up just messing the code and having to start from scratch several times. 
and yes, you need a database. Simpler guestbooks might be able to run without, but all forums run on databases. |
