Thank you for downloading PHP-Forum beta

Note: this is the bata version i have tested it to the best of my abilities i hope.


php forum uses php 3 or 4 and mysql. Note: there is No javascript or frames in this script and all the html is basic so you will need to format the colors that you like white and gray as it stands now.


Install instructions:
	 Change common.inc in both the root dir and the admin dir to refect your login , password and database name to Mysql.  You will find the comments at the very top of the file.
	 
	 

create a new database if you dont already have one. and upload forum.sql this will create the 3 tables needed. as well as 2 indexes in the event that your tables become large.


running the system.

Admin.
the admin folder contains all of the admin files. Run forum_admin.htm from this dir will let you set up php-forum. The first thing you will need to do is add some new forums you may have as many as you like. 
From forum_admin.html you will also be able to: 

delete forums  
	Note deleting a forum will delete all the topic's and postings under it.
delete a topic from a forum
	note deleteing a topic will delete all postings under it
delete a posting
	note deleting a posting will delete the posting	


The main page for the users is forum_pick.php here they can pick what forum they would like to use.  Once you they chose a forum they may then add a topic , check a topic or post messages under a topic.
