allyouhave Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Hey guys, just looking for a little direction right now! I want to create a website somewhat like deviantART where users can upload their own pictures, comment on other users' pictures, or comment on other users' profile pages. The first major problem that I encountered before I started this project up is that I have no idea what language I ought to start coding in. I assumed that PhP and MySQL were probably my best bets since I was going to be handling photos from users and hosting them on the site (but a MySQL database is literally the only kind of database I know about, so... Maybe there's a better one I should take advantage of?).My language skills right now are... Barebones haha. I have HTML covered (advanced), CSS is pretty good (moderate-advanced), PhP is... (minimal) and MySQL is less than PhP. So, to be honest, it wouldn't be that much of a hassle to start over and learn how to code in another server-side language (if I even need to).Any advice here would be great!

boen_robot Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Your assumptions are correct. You'll need a server side language. PHP is one such choise. ASP is another. And you'll likely need (My)SQL too. Play more with those tutorials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
