But that's not really an option being you don't know PHP.

Why not just use phpBB?

cause i would like to LEARN how to create one

OK fine. But you're not going to get a tutorial on creating a full featured forum. That's not where you start.

LEARN PHP and MySQL.

Check out PHP: Main in my sig. Also check out phpfreaks.com for some great tutorials to get you started.

You have a tutorial there? I would guess it's under a different user name.

Here's the thing. If you have knowledge of PHP, you shouldn't need tutorials on creating something like a member list. You should be able to use your knowledge of PHP and make a member list.

I'm not really sure where you're going to find tutorials that specific.

I think you're gonna need some more knowledge of PHP before you start coding a forum.

However, if you think you're ready to start, PHP: Main has a bunch of useful tutorials that you can put together to make a forum. That is, combined with a basic knowledge of PHP and MySQL. Just take a look at what a forum has, then take a look at what PHP: Main has. There's alot more than you would figure.

Theres a tutorial about creating a forum here. If you no a bit of PHP and MySQL, you should be able to expand on it.

theSmurk's tutorial is really bad.
They dont know how to explain things.

It's just a piece of code he gives...
Not much of a tutorial if you'd ask me.

Im sure no matter what the guy says, thats all he wants...
Also, if he knows some PHP like he says he does, it should be easy for him to understand.

there are some really good tutorials there also. http://www.freewebma..p.com/tutorials/php/

In my sig, click the Ikonboard link. :)

No, no, NO! I know you're trying to help...but if you read the topic, you'll see he wants to make one himself, not use another system.

Sorry sorry sorry. I just read what the title and first post tell me. :(
Coding really isnt my best subject, so I cant help ya there.

I suggest reading the php tutorials on www.tizag.com

On learning those, pay close attention on page writing, deleting, appending, and truncating. Making a forum is no simple task. Heck, I can't make a forum. (I'm a beginner at php.)
