Making Discussion Board

Hello everyone, i would like some help on programming since i am no
really good at php

The question is that, i am making a forum for my own web page and
dont know what security measures i have to take, what is cookies use
for and the algorithm for the forum, i.e. should i store the comment
in the mysql database or in a text file and also most importantly ho
do i implement the smilies and such. Maintaining it wouldnt be
problem because i know i have to get some off and store it physicall
on my computer if there are too many comments and i knw the basi
stuff. Just need help on the advance things like networking an
security. Thank you for anyone's help... :D[/quote

No, don't do this. Download and install one of the ten zillion such boards
that probably already exist, e.g. phpBB (and keep it patched).
