Dynamic content websites

[gffects 0]

Hey guys I want to build a big project website and my ability with html and css is good I understand javascript and some php and some mysql.

 

Now big sites like youtube and facebook have their sites made by the user and it display specifically in certain positions on a page.

I would like my site to be able to do the same thing by the user adding the content and it gets put in the correct places and I know I can't just build it in html and css or I would have to hand code everytime there would be a change.

 

How to go about doing this for a website?

There are a couple ways you could approach this:

 

-- Try to build something from scratch using a server side language (probably PHP, though there are others). It really depends on what sort of features/functionality you need, but this could be a time consuming/difficult. You might check out my PHP Login with OOP and MVC course (http://www.killersitesuniversity.com/courses/view/php_login_with_oop_and_mvc) as a place to get started, since I would assume you will need some sort of login/authorization system.

 

-- You could also find an existing project that has nearly all of the functionality you need, and modify it to fit your needs. HotScripts has a lot of free/lowcost/commercial scripts for you to look at: http://www.hotscripts.com/category/scripts/php/scripts-programs/

Thanks Ben i'm going to go over my idea and note down what functions are needed,

And I guess slowly figure out how to make them one at a time

not too bother about time as I tend to do this over a year or 2 anyway and tbh I would want to know how to make this stuff anyway I don't see the point in using other peoples work.
