PHP Forum Script

yeah, check out phorum.org - simple to start with, easy to fit in,
powerful when you want it to be.

Thanks ingvalid;
I tried Phorum.org.

I found very hard to bypass their user and registration system.
Seems to me that in order to post, users have to be in their user data
base... As I have an alternative big DataBase of users, and I don't
want to have them signing more than once, I had problems adapting it.

What I wanted is something like this:
1) The forum accepts anybody to post - no registered users, no login,
no control;
2) The forum asks for a name for each post, and an optative URL.

I, then, in the beginning of the pages, will:
1) Check using the sessions, that the user is logged in the community;
2) Insert the Name as the Poster's name;
3) Insert the Profile page as the Poster's URL.

I am sure that there must be something that fits.

I will have a many topics, but only a few forums.

Thanks for the help!

hmm - you may have started in a difficult end. it should be easy to
create a forum where you specify that anyone can post, i.e., with no
restrictions.

so regarding user management - allowing anyone to post - you should not
have to do any adjustment to the code.

to incorporate the forum into an existing site there's a header and a
footer file, or a procedure to embed the forum in one or several sites
(faq: http://dev.phorum.org/phorum5/docs/faq.txt, "I need to embed
Phorum in my page/application").

there might be existing hacks (published on phorum.org) dealing with
existing user sessions.

good luck, with phorum or otherwise.
