Why don't you post your questions to the developer of the forum package?

 

dera friends , this is no any forum software, this script from cd with i prrchaged book

 

Did it come with instructions...Is there a "readme" in the zipped file you attached?

You will need to give more info as it is quite vague right now.

 

there are no read me file give me your email- id i will send u full script

thanks for reply

 

No thanks...

Most forums require 3 things

1.) Create a mySql database
2.) Put the details of that database in a config file (it should already be there, just change the details)
3.) Run an install.php or something similar

Is there any reason you want to run this type of forum and not phpBB or vB?

 

in this forum script , the following database.php file , this is right?

<?php
/* Class: Database
* Desc: Class that connects to a MySQL database.
*/
class Database
{
private $cxn; // database connection object
private $database_name;
private $host;
private $user;
private $password;

function __construct($filename)
{
include("$filename");
if(!$this->cxn = new mysqli($host,$user,$passwd)) #16
{
throw new Exception("Database is not available.
Try again later.");
email("dbadmin@ourplace.com","DB Problem",
"MySQL server is not responding. ".
$this->cxn->error());
exit();
}
$this->host = $host; #25
$this->user = $user;
$this->password = $passwd;
}

function useDatabase($dbname)
{
if(!$result = $this->cxn->query("SHOW DATABASES")) #32
{
throw new Exception("Database is not available.
Try again later");
email("dbadmin@ourplace.com","DB Problem",
"MySQL server is not responding. "
.$this->cxn->error());
exit();
}
else #41
{
while($row = $result->fetch_row())
{
$databases[] = $row[0];
}
}
if(in_array($dbname,$databases) ||
in_array(strtolower($dbname),$databases)) #49
{
$this->database_name = $dbname;
$this->cxn->select_db($dbname);
return TRUE;
}
else #55
{
throw new Exception("Database $dbname not found.");
return FALSE;
}
}

function getConnection()
{
return $this->cxn;
}

function getDatabaseName()
{
return $this->database_name;
}
}
?>

 

There should be a config.inc or something similar

 

there are total following file

database.php,
post.php
postmessage.php
postreply.php
thread.php
vewforum.php
viewthread.php
vewtopic.php
webforum.php
tabelaccessor.php


function_main.txt
function_viewoptions.txt
function_vewforum.txrt
messageform.txt
replyfield.txt
formvars.txt
function_post.txt
function_viewthread.txt
messagefield.txt
viewforum.txt
viewthread.txt
viewtopic.txt

and forum.css

 

And this forum package has no name whatsoever? Or does this "book" have a name?

 

the books name is php & mysql projects, there are many project in this books

if any body want i will send u

 

formvars.txt

Should be changed to match the details of your database (which you need to create)

The naming is unimportant as long as the formvars.txt then matches it

 

This isn't for school is it? Am I doing your homework?

PS...The file names you sent me - There is nothing like install.php. THere has to be a way that it sets up the fields for your database. Either they come in a readme which has Create - Insert - etc or there is a file that you run that does it for you.

 

i will send u all the file, i have. tell me what can i do?, can i make forum in my site this way

 

Did you set up your mySQL database?

 

where i set up my mysql database?

 

now i am online in yahoo ,

 

Have you ever set one up before? Doesn't the book give you a step by step?


If not, do you have cPanel with your hosting?

 

no , i not set up any database before

ya , i have a cpanel with hosting

you can see it by my web hosting providers website
