Title: PHP help wanted
Post by: Silverfoxr on August 20, 2006, 07:20:44 AM
i have a request to ask - i want to revamp my website http://www.furfire.org using php - but the problem is  i have no idea how to do it cause i know nothing about it

all i use is netscape composer and html - but i guess its time to revamp it to a new layout similar to what happened with DMFA

*shurgs* just a request but it would be nice to see what can be done?

all i could do to pay you is do a drawing?

I could [try to] help, Sil. :B I -am- a nerd. And nerds -have- to do nerdy things.

...And if you don't need my help, I'll just go do other nerdy things. :B

*Nerdy nerdy nerdy nerdy nerd*

Question is, Silver, what do you want it to look like?

See, in my experience, figuring out the design is the tricky bit. Making the code do it is less tricky, overall. Once you know what you want it to look like, just about anyone can make it look like that, or explain why you can't do that. It's just a matter of poking through the proper bits.

So. What do you want it to look like?

<?php

if ($you->need ('help')){
....$I->can_make_up_something_cool();
....if ($idea == 'making up a nice comic updater'){
........$I->already_have_an_up_and_running ('comic_updater');
....}
}

if ($site=='revamp'){
....no_problem();
....redesign ($site) and
....then ($I->help());
}
else {
....lets_see ('what to do');
}

?>

(if you don't understand what I wrote there, let's just say I can do anything on PHP with my eyes closed)

on other news, PHP designer is not enough to make up PHP stuff, you will also need a PHP server running on your machine, you should

get wampserver http://www.wampserver.com/ OR
get Xampp (link unknown) OR
get apache/mysql/PHP separately and configure them yourself (not for the faint of heart)

but it depends, if what you're looking is just visual what is needed is not PHP, but CSS.
I usually go here for CSS reference: http://www.w3schools.com/

still, I won't have much problem on a full-PHPed site, I should be able to do to any comic site what I did to my own (link on sig banner) in a breeze
