Sounds like you have whitespace somewhere there shouldn't be :)

Stevoo, you should really try seeking help from vBulletin.com / org for your issues :)

They "prefer" .html pages over dynamic pages, but Google doesn't care, they spider forums just fine, take a look at vBulletin.com for example, ALOT is indexed

Did you add the .php extension and the php module into apaches config file

That cover it?

As paradox has shown with his example, you left out the database, varible so mysql won't know what database it needs to get its data from.

http://area51.phpbb.com

phpBB3 should work OTB with php5 AFAIK :)

phpBB2 does not run on php5 by default.

Look at sourceforge.net for a working version.

IT would be best to do everythinb by hand.

Are you going to be using IIS or apache?

If this is for testing on your local i suggest running apache esp if your regular webserver is linux based as...

It needs to be accessable either though a share or though the web, and then it would be

\\computer\foldername\file.ext

or web

http://name/folder/file.ext

with html i would guess, and do you just mean a table?

IIRC Killer is right :)

php is just an extention of a webserver

No www mr killer typp

htt://localhost ;)

Yes, well no, but you need a valid webserver that can run php and a mysql server.

Your host has disabled half of the nessary built in php functions ;) time to switch to a better host and a better board imo ;)

actually it should be

<img src="smilie.gif" alt="" />

personally if your looking for a large site and want ease of administration i can suggest vBulletin but it is a paid solution :)

nothing can come close to the power of vB atm :) not with out alot of devs and quite abit of time

glad to be of some help :)

im not anygood with php scripts in general, i didnt get a chance to look over it but i didnt see anything that made sure not to regerage images over and over >.> so i was just adding my two cents :)

why not use mysql or another type of DB to store a generate images, so that theyre only generated once

woudlnt this become server intensive over time if you had a high trafic site?
