Is there 1?!?

If not how do you make one?

I downloaded some php stuff but i don't know what to do with it!

Answer 1

you will need a database where you keep user names and encoded passwords.

and web content that works with that database.

use PHP to read the clients entry, check against the DB and display things accordingly.

Answer 2

It is not as simple as just download some PHP stuff.

If you want to make one, you will need good knowledge on both PHP and MySQL and integrate both of them to manage users and your content. But it will become more difficult when users start joining in and you want to add more features.

Or you can try using PHP/MySQL CMS systems out there. Some are free, but some are not. It may not be the best for you, but at least you can have a good night sleep.

Oh... before I forgot, you need to be good in HTML and CSS in both case. They are just the backbone of your website. You still need to create the design (or theme in later case) for it to work. You're not going to greet visitors with that ugly default theme, are you?

Answer 3

Try http://www.php.com it's a free service for people who want to create online communities.

Answer 4

You'll need to get a decent host, I use http://x10hosting.com but it requires you to log in to the forums every 28 days.

Next you'll need a FTP client, download Filezilla at http://filezilla.org

Connect to your website with the details you should have. Upload all your files that you have STOLEN FROM ANOTHER WEBSITE WHEN YOU SHOULD OF MADE YOUR OWN!

Then test them!

Good luck, the key to success is to never give up!
