TobyHall2000 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Hello! I am kind of new to HTML and CSS so please bare with me if I don't understand what you mean Anyway, I have been building a website for a game I play and it needs to have a forum on it. Now I have no idea how to make a forum, my Dad has before but he has forgotten. I have heard it is something to do with PhP? I have used that once before. So my question is would it cost me to make a forum? How long would it take me? And what do I need to know? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niche Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) A simple server side forum would take less than a month. IMO. Get your localhost from wampserver.com and go to work. It's free. Edited April 6, 2014 by niche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingolme Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I would recommend installing forum software. It is made in PHP and uses MySQL databases. Here's a list of forum software you can install: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_forum_software Some of them cost money, but SimpleMachines and PHPBB are free. As for programming a forum, a properly done forum would probably take me half a year. There are so many little details needed in making a forum work as good as existing software.
