Learn Html and CSS first and then go from there. You most likely need to understand those to to understand where to start on your site.

Ok, thanks for the replies. Im pretty sure thats what im going to go with is word-press. I've heard people say word-press is for small sites, Joomla is for medium sized sites, and Drupal is for large to really large sites.

Thanks,

It depends all that you want to be as a web designer/web developer. You could do just the front end stuff, html and CSS. Or the backend things like MySQL and php. Personally for me i am great with graphics and pretty much know html and CSS inside and out to the point where i can just flow through design and use it to get the results i want. Im teaching myself PHP MySQL and then javascript now. Since i know html and CSS plus im taking a class this fall on xhtml, fireworks ect through college. But anyway, It depends on what you want to do. But listen to everyone here and start with html and CSS as the basics and work your way up from there.

Hope this helps some.

Thanks,

Hey good post, I think that the mobile browser market will continue to grow but i don't think computers will be completely replaced anythime soon. The older generagion does not like the smaller text or anything of that sort. Plus some people like to see everything on the screen at once.

Just thought id add that.

Thanks,

Ok so here it goes. Im looking to add the my account web page to my website http://www.legendofdrizzt.com. Here is what i want to do with the my account page.

1. Add a login system and register system for people's accounts.

2. Once in there my account page. I want to integrate word-press or a similar software. So that they can post anything they want. Ex: in a way like Facebook i guess. I want that to be live so that it updates itself changing with peoples friends post.

3. I want to add a private messaging system, as well as a friends list, I also want to add something like face-book's live private chat. So people can talk amongst themselves.

4. I want to give them the ability to upload there own images and videos for everyone else to see. Ex: like Facebook kind of.

5. Later down the road i want to integrate their post's on legendofdrizzt.com with twitter and Facebook possibly.

6. I want to add privacy controls. EX: block annoying people form seeing your account, keep details private if they so wish. And so on.

So i guess im looking for someone to help me code a lot of this and also someone who can guide me in the planning of this project and we can work hand in hand with each other for this project.

If anyone is interested send me a private message or just post here i guess.

Thanks,

Cody Perry

July 24, 2010

I fixed the false statements you said and got the $end error again the only other thing i added was <?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?> to the action property of the form.

Still trying to get it right thanks for the help as well kind of stuck not sure whats causing problems.

Thanks,

Cody Perry

July 24, 2010

Not sure quite what you mean? Could you explain it more, im working off of a school assignment i did, so it has the same stuff like where exactly in my code did you see i need that examples from my code and what it should look like would be great.

Thanks,

Cody Perry

July 24, 2010

im still getting the $end error on my website, when i go to display it. Any clue what it might be.

Thanks,

Cody Perry

July 24, 2010

Now i have a $end error after i deleted a line of code under the //send it comment. If you guys could look over the code there, its the complete form and see if theres a bracket or semi-colon or something missing. That would be very helpful.

Anything im missing let me know.

Thanks,

But if i keep it this way it shows up right besides the warning messages right now. Could it be because im not viewing it on a server.

// process the $_POST variables

$first_name = $_POST['first_name'];

$last_name = $_POST['last_name'];

$email = $_POST['email'];

$comments = $_POST['comments'];
