Using phpBB and site intergration

TheDonkey

Hi, this post is to seperate the "Hijacking" of this POST HERE

I have found a interesting little tutorial on integrating phpBB into an entire site.

Have a look.

Integrating phpBB With Your Website I found this over at phpBBhacks.com

I suggest you use a login form to process this php scripting... you can then call the above script login.php

[HTML]<form action="login.php" method="post"><input type="text" name="username"><br /><input type="password" name="password"><br />
<input type="submit" value="login" name="login">
</form>[/HTML]
just insert the above into your html

Also remember if you are inegrating html into php you can not have double quotes...

for example
[PHP]<?echo
"<im src="YOURIMAGE.gif" />";
?>[/PHP]
will not work

You must insert forward slashes into the html as in
[PHP]<?echo
"<im src=\"YOURIMAGE.gif\" />";
?>
[/PHP]
This will tell the php to ignore the html quotations

you can also open and close the php

Questions and comments to follow

[PHP]<?echo
"<img src='YOURIMAGE.gif' />";
?>[/PHP]

You could also use apostrophes (think thats spelt right) as i find it saves time when coding so you dont have to keep writing \" all the time

Yes i'm finding that out myself...Pretty new to this whole PHP coding thing, its really not that hard....

I had this whole thing working nicely and then bam it broke...DOH...ofcourse I didnit save the working pieces seperatly so now Im back to square one...lol...

However I never really realized the power of phpBB...you can really do a lot with this forum and the best part its oopen source

yeah phpbb is really great to work with when starting with phpbb

though what sucks is my computer that i use for developing all my php applications just got loaded with some deadly virus so im having a helluva time getting it out, so i have to use my "school" computer which doesnt have anything on it !!!!
