justsomeguy Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 The only things you *need* knowledge for are whatever you choose to do. If you want your site to use JSP, then you need to learn Java. If you don't want it to use JSP, then you don't. If you don't know what JSP is, then you don't need to learn Java.Like any other site, you will need a markup language like HTML, a formatting language like CSS, Javascript if you want to use certain features like AJAX, and a server-side language that can connect to a database like PHP, ASP, Coldfusion, JSP, Perl, Python, etc. You don't *need* any of them, it's whatever you *want* to use. If you're going to be making a search engine, the first thing you need to do is learn one or more of those languages and try to get the experience that you'll need to develop a search engine. I've been programming professionally for 4 years and I would be intimidated trying to design an efficient and accurate search engine, data mining is a huge field.

justsomeguy Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 anyway so how would i display results? would i use php to recall the results i get from the sql databases? i know html css. would i just use them for the general layout?The same way you do with anything else, get some practice with PHP and you'll figure it out. PHP can get the results from the database and send HTML to the browser to display everything. PHP is just a general-purpose server-side language, you can output plain text if you want to, but if you're using this online it would make sense to output HTML code because that's what the browser is made to understand.

justsomeguy Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 To send output you can use echo, print, or you can put static output outside of the PHP tags. As far as site names go, I'm a programmer, I'm not in marketing, and I already think names like Bebo, Friendster, Flickr, Joomla etc are retarded, so I'm probably not the best person to ask for an opinion on names like durdat, vurgam, or plooth.

SpOrTsDuDe.Reese Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 I was thinking along the lines of Plooth.com. I mean durdat.com makes it seem "Oh I'm stupid durrr." For the echo command, would I have the echo output data from my MYSQL databases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
