Covandy Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hi, I am currently starting work on a social networking website. This is only a personal project at the moment as I have not quite obtained most of the skills I yet need and have a lot of spare time to learn. This is so I can develop my skills as I am currently confident in coding (X)HTML and CSS. I know some Javascript and I am starting to learn php and SQL. Its a big project but it will hopefully give me something to try out new skills with etc.I am abotu half way through creating and coding the Home page. I once I have done this I will start work on the sign up and forum submitting etc and saving the data to a database. What fields do you think are neccessary and do you think it is worth learning things like flash along the way? Also I know this is probably the wrong section for this but say for information that can be later edited like a bio or about me is it best to use a database or other file types for large textual info. Final question can databases store html?Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Yes use a database (99% of the time this is the best choice) and yes they can store html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natechs Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 With MySQL, you can create a database to hold your members. HTML can't do that. Use PHP to connect to that database and get the member's login name and password.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
