Sry for misunderstanding your poorly structured sentence. If you want to know how to make a blog using php, research it your self. Try learning the basics of Php (www.w3cschools.com). Or make your question more clear, and dont ramble about anything that doesnt have anything to do with your question... it miss leads the reader when you do.

Dude, you're the one that rambled on about something that doesn't relate to the question whatsoever.

I asked if anybody could direct me to any tutorials or simple posting systems, nothing major. So you went on to give me instructions on how to install a content management system and use it... That is not what I needed.

I simply asked here because I know that people here will give me valuable resources, whereas, google may not.

That seems like a clear enough question to me. Does it not?

hey traxor, i first suggest you hardcode some blog entries. etc.

code:

---

<?php
$title = 'Post Title';
$postdata = 'Post Data';
?>

---

then start designing your blog, start the basics like create an array of posts with title, get a for working.

after you have the desired data echo'ing into the right places with everything looking good.

then start looking up some MySQL (or whatever database you use) tutorials. trust me MySQL isn't hard at all, it's just it would be easier to learn one at a time.

if you need help just message me on MSN.

I have already designed the blog, the main problem is the posting system etc. I am a complete newb at PHP, thanks for the offer, I will chat to you on MSN.

For posting/updating/showing in your blog, research these SQL commands: SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE

For getting info from your DB with PHP: mysql_* functions (using SQL)

For showing them: while, mysql_fetch_assoc

The PHP and MySQL manuals are not too complicated to read. You will find all you need there.

If you still don't know the basics of PHP, then read the language reference in the PHP manual.

Also, in the PHP manual: Read the notes! Some stuff are not entirely docummented or clear enough, so the user notes sometimes help (be aware, that some might be misleading or have outdated/wrong information!).

php.net / mysql.com
