  1. Making a board as functional and diverse as any of those listed above takes much longer than two weeks, especially if it's only you working on it.
    whiteFyre doesn't look nearly as good as phpBB, IPB, or vBulletin.

    Although phpBB, vBulletin, and invision have many features, they are overcrowded with useless space wasting feautres. Like poll in topics. Only the admin should be allowed to make polls on the front page, the other regular users should just type down a question and some options. And those forums have too many pictures everywhere. Signatures should not have pictures, that makes it very hard to read each post in a topic. And speaking about posts, so much information is being posted along with each post, like the user title, level, number of posts, and more. If someone wants to know that they should look at their userinfo.

    Another thing, this board uses invision power board. I can see that the whole board works on only one file. The file must have at least 10,000 lines of code in it. That's one reason it's so slow. Another reason is that when many users are viewing the board, someof them may get a "Connection Error" or "Connection Timeout" since all of them are lurking one single file. Give the server a break you're overbandwidthing it.

  2. I optimized your source, replaced doublequotes with singlequotes because it's faster and change your file functions a bit:

    <?php [/br]session_start(); [br]header('Content-type: text/vnd.wap.wml'); [/br]echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"ISO-8859-1\"?>"; [br]echo '<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN\ '.[/br].' "http://http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml;; [br]?> [/br]<wml> [br]<card id="msgadd" title="message added">[/br]<p align="center">[br]<br/>Your message has been added[/br]</p>[br]<p><?php $session=session_id();  ?></p>[/br]<p><a href="viewroom.php?nick=<?echo $session?>">Chat</a></p>[br][/br]<p>[br]<?php [/br]$data = file_get_contents('msgs.txt');[br][/br]$fp2 = fopen( "msgs.txt", "w" ); [br]fputs($fp2, ' [/br]<p> [br]//I was just testing so dont even notice the session varaible below[/br]'.$session.': '.$msg.' <br/>[br]</p> [/br]'. $data );   [br]?> [/br][br]</p>[/br]</card></wml>

  3. I go back on Monday. I'm kinda exited because I have so little to do around here. I wanna make this year a good year and I'll find time for school work and other work. I know how the first day's gonna ba. Teachers are just gonna go over the rules.Last year the teacher asked something students shouldn't bring to school and I said dynamite. Weapons covers that and a lot more >_>And maybe I'll join drama this year. I've always wanted to be in drama.


  4. So, im making a chatroom in wml/php with no database. I have most of it covered but I have a few problems. When a user enters the chat he/she has to enter the nickname. After the user has entered one message the chatroom "forgets" the nickname so if he/she enters another message, the name wont be displayed. I tried using sessions and cookies and such but I cant get em to work.

    Mind showing me your source? And yes cookies is the best way. Your source should look something like this:

    <?php[br]if(isset($_POST['nickname'])[/br]  setcookie('nickname', htmlentities($_POST['nickname']), 999999);[br]?>[br][/br]<form>[/br]<input name=nickname value="<?= isset($_COOKIE['nickname']) ? isset($_COOKIE['nickname']) : NULL; ?>"[br]<input name=message><input type=submit value="Say It"></form>
    [/br]And remember you need to set the cookie before you write anything to the page. That means before the <html> tag ;)

  5. Just post your PHP problem here and I will try to help you. Having trouble writing a script? I am here come to me here. And no offense but I think I know more PHP than the admin. BTW, I don't want you to think of me as a person who gloats about himself a lot because I don't. I'm just saying this because it's been proved and I'm sure there are other great PHP programers here and I ask them to come here and help asnwer your questions.


  6. I prefer making my own board. Sure it might take at least 2 weeks, but at least everything will be exactly the way I want. And when I didn't know much php to make my own I used a http://www.gamefaqs.com/ spinoff. I really like those sources, whitefyre is one of the easiest to install and has many features. You can find it at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

    The boards will look like this http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

    And no I don't own that site or are a mod there just because I'm telling you about it. I just think boards like that are way much better than phpBB and invisionfree. Waaaay much. Very eye friendly and much easier. No javascript, which is good because javascript = bad most of the time
