r/PHPhelp on Reddit: I'd like to make a Forum from start to finish... (I am new)
July 27, 2021 -
This is something I have always wanted to do. I have installed various pre-made message boards but I have never made one. I don't mind following some sort of tutorial if anyone can suggest one that I can later add on features and things to (I'd like to add things like PGP encryption for messaging eachother etc).
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Basically, I want to learn

i started learning php, and programming in general, by building an entire forum from scratch. i worked on that project for almost 6 months and trying to read that code today would be impossible. it was full of invulnerabilities, bugs. non-sense things and spaghetti code, but i actually learned a lot with that project. i don't want to discourage you, but it's almost impossible it will become something really great if you're new to programming, but i hope you'll learn as lot as i did and maybe one day you'll make another forum with all the gained knowledge. i started learning php by watching dani krossing 's php series. his tutorials may be not suitable for "advanced" programmers, but maybe you can understand where to start to build the structure of your forum (he did tutorials about the login system, uploading images, sessions, database interactions...)

Start by learning HTTP, PHP & OOP, SQL - JOINs, Indexes, Nested/Adjacent/Material lists etc, HTML, CSS, & JS. Learn about forms, validation, and sql injection. You will learn about CSS/JS frameworks early, learn PHP frameworks when you get more comfortable with OOP https://phptherightway.com/ helps. Then learn how to structure the code correctly. I've seen most forum code is a mess and your code will get messy too. https://www.nikolaposa.in.rs/blog/2017/01/16/on-structuring-php-projects/ Then look at forums sites and try to break down each section and code to each. News sites are no different just structured differently Look at reddit for instance and break it down a small part. Reddit is a forum with subforums. Each subforum is owned by a user ( r/phphelp is created by SoBoredAtWork). Each subforum has many moderators (SoBoredAtWork is a moderator as well). Starting there, the SQL tables could start looking like: Forums id name User id name ForumOwner forum_id user_id ForumModerator forum_id user_id *Note getting granular like this can get difficult in code, which is why you may see people combine information into one table. Read into databases normalization - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_normalization PHP can start looking like: #View a subforum like r/PHPhelp $route->get('/r/:subforum', function ($subforum) { get info pass to templates }); Get the form to submit a phphelp post $route->get('/r/:subforum/submit', function ($subforum) { get text form & relevant info pass to templates }); Submit the form $route->post('/r/:subforum/submit', function ($subforum) { get the data from the form check validation if not ok, redirect with errors if ok, insert into db redirect with message });
