 Subject: [PHP] Create a Bulletin Board


 Yo!
 I'm thinking of writing a bulletin board and I wonder about
 threads. I want the board to be built on threads but I don't know
 how to do it. I want it to look something like this:

 subject 1
|
|__ reply1 to 'subject 1'
|   |
|   |__ reply1 to 'reply1 to subject 1'
|   |
|   |__ reply2 to 'reply1 to subject 1'
|
|__ reply2 to 'subject 1'

 This is important to me so I'm thankful for any help I can get!

Just keep track of a parent message number.  You should be able
to use that one field to trace any message back to a root message.
And with that information, you should be able to build a "thread".

I concur on that.

However, I am more fond of the UBB/vBulletin style of threads, personally.

Anyone who wants a threaded discussion board won't be satisfied with phpBB.
It dosan't contain a threaded view and probably never will :)

 You could also check out phpBB:

RE: [PHP] Create a Bulletin Board

2001-03-20 Thread James Atkinson

I don't know of any PHP bulletin boards that use flat files. I database is
far better for storing data like this anyway. Ever seen a UBB board with
over 1,000,000 posts? Doing a simple search on it crashes the server...

The next version of phpBB will have support for MySQL, Postgres, MSSQL, ODBC
and Oracle.
