Coding A Private Message System would like assistance

Recommended Posts

I am (trying) to code a private message system for my one website (the one I pay big bucks in... ok, not big bucks, but a chunk of income). As being the first major script that I've ever coded, I would like some assistance on the side. I've never tried anything such as this and the fact that this is revolving around the core of my member's system (if I would have installed some pre-built script, I could have easily intergraded my member's area) makes it a bit difficult as it has to work off of my already existing database and user's table.I really wish I knew enough PHP and MySQL to do this by myself, but I don't.If you're interested, please contact me and if I run into any problems, I'll post in this thread.[N]F

What is wrong with most every forum software that already has a PM included with it. These are simply posts from one member to another, why try to reinvent the whell? phpBB2 Invision, SMF, and many others already have Private messaging built in. PHP-Nuke CMS and perhaps XOOPS CMS would also have such, I haven't used XOOPS in over a year so I don't remember but I believe any CMS with a forum included would also have PMs.

Alrighty then, here is a link to a ready made Private Messaging system that is already done using PHP & MySQL and only uses 3 tables and is a small program to download, I have downloaded it and set it up, it is kinda hard to set up but once within even though I thought I had set up a user I succeded when I asked for an account, you can install this in a subfolder(directory) on your site and then link to it, after you have uploaded it, you just make a new database and then run admin/install.php or admin/sm_install.php from your sites root where you place the new folder(directory) and follow directions and just fill in the form data.

All it does is set up a private message box with the ability to use smtp or php email. here is the home page PMsys home page that might spped up doing what you are wanting to do.
