Making My Own Forum Software?

[Fait]

I had a huge thought about this and im going to study hard and learn as much PHP as i can and css, I am going to make a forum software with loads of unique features that i have in mind one would be, i have already learnt 4 months worth of PHP Coding and own A YouTube Development Channel http://www.youtube.com/user/Spuddie95?feature=mhee

A Professional Templating System and Ive decided we are going to be open source when we are done. (Could take a few years to build upon)

Your Thoughts?

I Really passionate todo this.

U like the band "red" ?
ME to 😉

Red - Start Again... Red - Not Alone, awesome songs



Ontopic:

I used phpfreaks forums to help me do mine, and you should to, we can always learn new coding techniques from others, and ofc just keep php.net open in a tab while you work on it!

Good luck!!

Yes My Favorite genre is Rock & Metal, Red is one of my favourite bands 😀

On Topic:

Im going to start studying about php more and about including permissions as most forum software have advanced permission systems.

And Thanks, It Should Work Out!

Edit: We are looking for developers So shoot me a PM for A early application im starting this project within a few weeks. (or days)

4 months experience and you think you know PHP?
Don't even attempt this until you have at least a year or two under your belt. I'm sick of seeing people who can't program claim they can code a forum software. I can code a simple forum script in an hour or two, it'll take you weeks just to figure out how to properly code the index.

And even then it'll be prone to hacking unless you really know what you're doing. It's a lot harder than it looks.

I agree with Connor on this. You should have clear knowledge in PHP and experience in developing few simple scripts before attempting to do a big project like a forum script.
Don't attempt to jump over things, just walk over it. You should first learn HTML+CSS, then learn PHP properly. Try doing some basic PHP scripts, get to the extent that you don't need to consult a tutorial or something while doing simple tasks. Only then try and develop a big project.

Security is a lot more than mysql_real_escape_string, intval, etc. 😛

This, since you were stuck with a basic login script.

Not really

for inputs you need to escape, slash, or cast them as integers, what more do you need?

what i am talking about is just inputs, ofc they're tons of other stuff for security.....


Haha if you don't believe me, I recommend you come to my forums and try to inject :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Yes, Yous have a very good point i might stay with studying PHP as much as i can maybe atleast 2-4 years i would need under my belt as connor said.

 

[Eternal]

huh, sounds interesting. Good luck with your forum software, and PHP learning! 😉

Thanks

Thought of being unique and using the ASPX Language, But i will stick with PHP

Im going to get 2 years of expreience then from there i will start building the software.

lol. I meant to say, not every security issue can be solved by escaping inputs. For example CSRF vulnerability.
I don't question how much you know, but just wanted to mention, your post would misguide Spudster making him think he can solve all security issues by adding a mysql_real_escape_string(). 🙂

Thanks

ASPX isn't a coding language. Its the file extension of ASP.NET coded files.

I recommend you stick with PHP and learn it first.
