PHP Forum Code
I noticed from the poll that some people are interested in forum software. I've actually programmed a forum in php for my personal webpage but it was kinda lame and I've noticed that a lot of people use phpBB for their own sites. I wanted to try and make something better than the first and less complicated than phpBB, not to mention that it should use file read/write operations rather than MySQL database access (the place where I host my site doesn't let you use MySQL as a free service but it does permit read/write operations). So here's my second attempt at a better forum. I call it GrimBB. Right now the only thing that's working is the login, registration and index pages. It uses style sheets and whatnot. This is just what I've come up with thus far. Feel free to test it out and perhaps suggest improvements. I plan to make it freely available and editable and whatever people wanna do with it. Needless to say I'll have to add comments to the code but for now it's mostly just code. I'll post up explanations on what's going on if anyone has questions or suggestions upon improvements.
The next pending task is to create the actual thread viewer for the given forums (if anyone has suggestions on that I'd appreciate them 'cause right now I'm drawing a blank).
P.S. All the data on the portal.php page which is listed in board_layout.inc is taken from one of the demos of the phpBB site. I didn't borrow any of their code however, I just needed some filler material in a tabular format.
