Make some simple stuff in PHP and Mysql? That's what I did first time around, then I got really interested in the cool functions, and now here I am. I don't remember exactly how long I've been doing PHP code, but I think around a year and a half or so.

Examples of PHP and MySQL systems:
news
blogs
forums
gallery
membership
point system / rating system

and many more.

Or you could do what I also did and practice every single function every day. At least 3 functions at a time, and made many examples with them.

In your position, I'd bet recommend starting with a simple news system.

You could always just do a local host server for all your testing, and judging by your upload speed you could show us from there. ;P

date should be stored as a timestamp so int(10), news content is endless so text, the title should be varchar(100) and uploaded by should be the fieldtype of the username in the members table or whatever.

t3st, out of interest, do you use any punctuation besides "..."? And who taught you how to spell?

@orc

thanks i already have my database structure

Code:

$tbl_news = "CREATE TABLE news_post (

  id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, 

  title varchar(70) NOT NULL, 

  author varchar(50) NOT NULL, 

  post TEXT NOT NULL, 

  date DATETIME NOT NULL, 

  PRIMARY KEY(id))TYPE=MyISAM";



@mysql_query($tbl_news, $link)or die("Failed to create table");;

thanks though..

t3st, he's meaning that you're always using "..." instead of commas and fullstops(periods).

t3st, Good luck on your project and let us know how it goes! :)
