if yer really interested in just a simple straight forward site, that has a portal (users login) and forums use PHP Nuke or something like it, get yer self a webserver that you have control of, easily acquired for under $5 a month, and follow the instructions that are in the product you downloaded if you want to write a basic HTML site, with little interaction from viewers, you can do it all in notepad, and if you do you can call yourself a coder aftwerwards, or you can acquire Frontpage or Dreamweaver to giver you a real easy GUI to build websites on. If you are going to code a PHP+SQL site from scratch you had best get yourself well educated and practiced before you even attempt to put up a site for public use. PHP is not simple, you can learn basics pretty quickly but coding is difficult and gets more so as you want to tweak this or that. a site like this one no doubt took countless hours to code, and its likely based off of another established "good" code for a forums/BB(bulletin board) a hybrid is a good route to go, build yourself some HTML pages and place a link to phpbb2, invision, or vbulletin board. good luck peace lv _______________ “Arguing on the internet is like competing in the Special Olympics.

I've been working with a JKA clan that went for two months without even having a website - all they had was a pub server that most of them frequented.  There's no reason to learn HTML, PHP, CSS, SQL, and more just to start a clan - there's plenty of free forum services out there. Also, most free web-hosters don't support any server-side technology, so you wouldn't have the tools to construct a forum anyway. I certainly wouldn't encourage you to pay money just to start a clan, with no idea of whether it will work out or not. _______________ Saving the world, one kilobyte at a time. |

Yeah. Well, it's not so much time as i want to put in, as how much time i've got. I wanted to create a clan for Battlefront 2 but didnt know where to start with a website. _______________ Padawan to Solitude "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to... suffering" -Jedi Master Yoda "I shall not fear.

Keep in mind that people who create a web engine like this one, or the common PHPBB engine, are people who have been coding this stuff as long as it's existed. Don't expect to put in a weekend and have a fully functional, secure, and stable app. _______________ Saving the world, one kilobyte at a time. |

You should know everything that's involved in doing so. If you have trouble with it after doing those tutorials, try searching Google for other tutorials on making exactly what you want to make. These just explain each part of each language with an example. Oh, and you may also want to learn SQL. Commonly used together with PHP for achieving things like you're wanting to there. |

Probably depends on your understanding of it and how long it takes you to do each part. I can't be sure myself how long it'd take without any real experience, but it's possible to learn a lot of it pretty quickly, I believe. Try the HTML, CSS and PHP tutorials. You should be able to make a good website with the three of those. Nice and easy to learn and understand, too.  |
