Building a forum

Hiya all,

Im trying to build a forum for a website ive made.
It now allows users to log in by a link to a mySQL database but thats about it.

I was using a book on php and mysql but the chapter on forums goes way over my head - anyone know any links or any information that can help me at least start this web forum?

thanks,
William.

Heya, William.

Here's an article to get you started. It's a bit complicated at first glance, but if you take it slow, it will help guide you through the process of getting started.
