lol, let's start with the easy one:

Registration/Login System

Everyone should be able to do that.

How about a hard one?
Bulletin Board.

I don't think a Bulletin Board is really a must for a programmer. Pagination is a must, but it's not really a "script", so I dunno if you'd wanna count it.

k.
And what do you mean by pagination?

pagination is when you display a certain amount of results...say from a MySQL query on a page. So you put 10 results on a page then you have numbers or buttons saying next, 1 , 2 ,3 ,4 and so on and then the next set of the results is loaded on that page for the corresponding number ...a good way of splitting information

ow that.
I tried to make that once,failed,I had no idea how to make it. =/
If someone could make a tut about it..? :P

Well, assuming that we are talking about individual scripts and not systems, I would suggest the following:

• File Upload Script
• File Edit Script
• Image Thumbnail Script
• Database Manipulation Script
• (mentioned previously)Login/Registration Script
• (related to the previous)Session Script
• File Rename Script
• Include Type Template Script
• (mentioned previously)Pagination Script
• Extract Remote Data Script

I don't think that I need or should order these as I believe that they are all important. In my opinion, if you could successfully create each of these scripts, then you could probably combine the methods used in them to write nearly any procedural script.
Since these scripts require the use of many different functions.

As for which systems a programmer should do, I would suggest find something that there is a need for. No reason to spend a lot of energy and time building a complex system like a BBS or CMS if you don't have a need or demand for it.

Additionally, you should get a good grasp of Object Oriented Programing prior to tackling a complex system like a BBS. Using OOP instead of procedural programing will make your task much easier in this environment.

vujsa

Scripts that deal with such complex standards as SOAP and/or XML-RPC would be difficult as that takes a lot of reading to be able to code a compatible script. Will (Bluesaga on TP) has been doing a PCNTL wrapper recently which because of its apparent lack of a decent documentation, was apparently quite difficult to master.

On that note, I'm going to have say that creating an API (not conversing with an API) would be quite a difficult script. Not a simple API that provides the data into XML documents, but one that offers the full-works, that is all the PHP classes to communicate with the server, and a full API documentation on how to do certain tasks.

I believe a good one is a Calender and not for any use but learning.
