Hi,

Can anybody suggest some good books or tutorials or whatever to writing a simple forum.
I would like to do this to practise my PHP/MySQL skills and raise them to the next level.

Forum should include:

• User registration
  
• User login
  
• Administration trough a front-end
  
• Administration throug a back-end
  
• And other basic stuff

get yourself a copy of phpBB or any other ready made forum :-)

[Coldhearth]

Yeah but why should I do that... I won't learn anythin from that :s

[Orjan]

no, that's true, but that is quite a massive project to do. to learn, do something alot smaller, as a guestbook, a register/login etc first

I suggest siting down and engineering it out yourself. That's what I did when i made one. It may take longer to do it all yourself without a book, but you learn a lot more.
