hi,graham
beside i need your help for upload picture..
may i know where  can download a complete open source for forum using php and mysql ? urgent for me,,
thanks for your help and reply.

from kiko.


hello mate

You may want to look at www.phpbb.com They are PHP based and use mysql as a back end.  I've installed it before, was quite straight forward.

As a side note I heard there were security issues, but as I wasn't using it on an open server I never looked into it closely.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for following up, Chris .... yes, PHPBB is perhaps the most popular.  

Kiko, you may also like to look at the SMF forum which we use at http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop and other places.   I note, though, that your requirement is *urgent* and you have messaged me to push for further answers.  Realistically, we look to reply with 24 hours here and if you need a faster answer I would advise you to look for a service that's set up to do the work for you - perhaps at a price.

thx graham n chris.

i will try the website u suggest for me.
ok.
but i need ur help for how to upload picture.

thanks again.
