I don't think i was clear with my self but i want to maker a forum from scratch.... not vb or anything like that....from scratch.

I'm not seeing a whole lot online about that topic... though it may be that a lot of the search results for "build a php forum from scratch" involve already created forum software, not tutorials.

 

One place to start (as a VERY simple example): http://www.phpeasystep.com/workshopview.php?id=12

 

You might also want to think about purchasing http://www.amazon.com/Practical-PHP-MySQL-Building-Applications/dp/0132239973/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1260263232&sr=8-1. One of the applications this book teaches you how to build is a forum. I own the book, and it's been a good starting point for me in the past.
