I expect Dreamweaver runs it's HTML in the same way any browser would if it was loaded directly.

However to run PHPBB (or in fact any PHP) you need a web server running with PHP and MySQL installed and running as well.

This is too hard to set-up (although it is not an absolute walk in the park), find and download WAMP (for Windows) or LAMP (for Linux) to get Apache, MySQL and PHP for the relevent platforms, then you will be able to run and develop phpBB at home.

I've posted my query at the phpbb forum, where I got half an answer and then no more. I posted it again at another phpbb forum, where I got half an answer and no more. I posted it in alt.php, where I got half an answer, then no more. In desperation, I'm now posting again in alt.php, alt.comp.lang.php and comp.lang.php in the hope that someone will find the time to help. This was my original query:

Well the title might be a bit misleading: Some time ago I was trying to reverse engineer the authentification system in phpBB because I was building a community site in which there was a phpBB Forum integrated as central component. The idea was to give the users the possibility to log in once and then move on the entire site without having to bother about login again. It didn't go very well, I was able to use the login data and some other...

About a year ago I obtained a username in the forums at http://www.phpbb.com in order to discuss a peeve about phpBB - it's search function. I posted a forum entry questioning the value of the two search context choices: "Search message text only" and "Search topic title and message text". Is this not brain dead? I used the example of the very topic of the "search"

Please does someone know whether a tool that I look for exists and where? I need some PHP script that would transform phpBB codes to valid XHTML. phpBB codes are the metatags used to format posts to phpBB-powered forums, like the one at http://www.winlyrics.com . I started writing my own parser, but still I would rather use some more tested code. Thanks, Ondra

Hi, Is it possible to configure phpBB to display threads "newsgroup style"? What I mean by this is to show replies to the top level post indented in a tree structure. One thing I cannot stand about phpBB is that all replies to a top-level topic are in a long train. You never know if somebody is replying to the person before him or the original poster, etc. If not, does anybody know another open source forum tool that does this,...

Hi All, I'd like to integrate phpBB forums into my php site. I want the forums to be a part of an existing page that my php currently writes to the client's browser, but having had a look at the phpBB source it's not clear how to achieve this. Ideally, I'd need to strip out all of the <HTML> ,<BODY>, etc.. tags out of the phpBB files but as the source is highly structured/abstracted it looks like hard work!. Has anybody any ideas on...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
