Hi! I´m thinking of building a directory for my hometowns businessses. I know absolutely no php, no mysql. In the attachment you can see what i would like it to have for starters. I´d be more than greatful if you could tell me where should i start. I would like to do this myself and learn php and databases, but i might get friend to help me. But then i wouldn´t learn anything. Are there any free directory scripts or something like that? Thanks in advance!
Some useful options to you right now could be: 1) If you dont know any coding languages and want it up quick then best way to go is to pay somebody to make it and keep it running for you. 2) If you want to make it yourself then learn HTML first, then go onto learning PHP and lastly MySQL. A good way of learning is using w3schools or using google to find tutorials etc.
If you know HTML and CSS, you wont find PHP too hard, once you get a hand of it it's quite relevant to understand, sane goes with MySQL.
Ok, thanks. But don´t i need punch of scripts to achieve what i put on the wanttohave list? And could i build the site using this temp i made http://koti.mbnet.fi/thinner/multitest/? I don´t know where to start.
Hey, yes I get an idea of what you are wanting to do here. You could use the template to do it. A good idea of where to start first would be to setting includes within the content boxes down the left, main content section and same again for boxes down the right. Include is a PHP function, but you can easily do it with iframes. You will need PHP for the member functions, database, comments and rating system and a few others.
