i know no php, but amexcellentwith javascript, html, and css. I need help adding a forum to my site. Would apprciate any help

Needscripts.com

hotscripts.com

both of these websites have plenty of php scripts. Or just use google and search for php forum scripts. If you understand html then you should be able to adapt to php quite easily. Use you css file to position your forum results with the same stlye, text etc as the rest pf your pages, and then just use html tags to present you info into the webpage.

Another thing, are you using a mysql databse or a flat data file to store the enterdata in your forum?

Your proposed forum needs a database program, in this instance your using mysql. You need to have mysql on the same machine which is hosting your website. ( i think). If your putting yor website on your server then just install mysql on it as well.

To add it to your site you need to have mysql and a recnt version pf php installed and runing on your server.

"my little forum" should have hopefully quite a standard database connection and display of database contents code already writen in a test page, or something similar.

You need to use that same code to contact your database through your webpages. The php needs to be inside the your html tags.

But remenber you must save your php files as .php or you will just gat pages of sql comands.
