Hi!
I'm trying to get the discussion forum from this tutorial to work, but I have some problems. I have made a database according to the tutorial, and also turned on register_globals that this forum requires, but when I try to make a new topic and press the submit button nothing happens. I dont get an error message or anything.
Is there anyone who got this forum to work and have any idea on what I´m doing wrong, please reply.
Thanks in advance

PS. If you need more information on certain things in order to help me, just ask and I reply. Sry for my bad english.

Hmmm, now all of a sudden I can add a topic but when I klick on a certain topic to view it and to add a post, nothing shows up. The page view.php3 just loads and its a blank page, no errors or nothing.
Anyone knows whats wrong?

Probably view.php has short PHP tags. You should replace them with full tags:
<? should be <?php
Also, you can eliminate the worrisome register_globals by putting the following at the top of each PHP script:
extract($_POST);
Any scripts that pass variables and values via URL (like edit-post.php, delete-post.php, and view.php) will also need:
extract($_GET);
This is by no means secure, but at least your server configuration hasn't been compromised while you test this script. The better approach would be to actually use the $_POST and $_GET arrays directly...

Oh my god how blind one could be :-). You were right about the short tag in view.php, changed it and now it works. Thank you for your help, if I have another question I know who to ask ;-).

It bites me all the time. I'm *finally* at a point where that's the first thing I check. Especially with older code.
Does this all mean that your probel is solved. If so, we don't have to chase some 'older' members for this.
Ronald :cool:
You can always try using
phpBB...
Rather nice...
Unless you are just wanting to set things up and try it all for your self...
But it you want a quick Forum up and easy to manage and use...
try: http://www.phpbb.com/
