plain english please!!

plankton

Hi all,

I'm new to this group so please accept my apologies if this has already
been covered!

I have a site thats for my mates and myself to use from a chat room we
all frequent and have been trying to install a forum for god knows how
long now.

I'm not really very good with html, sql and all that stuff as i've just
started to dabble with it in the past 6 month or so, and the site i run
i built using a wysiwyg program.

So my problem is this; Can someone please write, or point me in the
direction of a plain english step by step walk-thru for integrating a
php template into my site so i can have my forum? Everything i have
found so far is just to complicated for me.

Much obliged!

download and install phpBB

You will need a database (mySQL preferably but it will run on any) and
some web space.

You will need to know how to transfer files to the web space using FTP

You will need to know how to unzip files on your local computer using
winzip

You will need to know the server address, name and password for your
database

If you need help on any of the above, I would suggest that it is
currently beyond you and that you should learn some more about how
interactive web sites work. If you can do all of this then phpBB comes
with easy install and set up tools and has lots of templates

Hi I haven't done any "serious" dot net development in over six months, but I am about to start a new job where I will be doing it every day. I want to get myself a couple of good books to arm myself with when I enter the new job. My level is "experienced" but certainly not "expert". I need something which serves as a good "reference" type book, for working with, but also explains some of the basics in a plain english way.

'restrict' in plain English?

I'm trying to wrap my head around the wording but from what I think the standard says: 1. it's impossible to swap a restrict pointer with another pointer, i.e. int a = 1, b = 2; int * restrict ap = &a; int * restrict bp = &b;

Python keywords vs. English grammar

by: Roy Smith | last post by:

I noticed something interesting today. In C++, you write: try { throw foo; } catch { } and all three keywords are verbs, so when you describe the code, you can use the same English words as in the program source, "You try to execute some code, but it throws a foo, which is caught by the handler".

Marshal - What does it Mean - in Plain English?

by: Frankie | last post by:

I have been learning about asynchronous method calls and I keep coming across this term, "marshal" and I would like to know what it means - specifically. AFAIKT, it means "send" but I suspect there is a bit more than that. Looking to online docs, MSDN talks about the System.Runtime.Interop.Marshal class - but I don't think that's relevant to what I'm seeing. Maybe it is... The following is an example of the sort of thing I've been...
