me and a buddy are going into DEV on a website. We want to have people register, people upload music, videos, and also have a custom profile. so i guess you could say its a little like myspace, but trust me this is a lot different.

so that being said, what do i do here, i know it involves PHP, javascript, and SQL. do you know any sites that could get me started on this? that focuses on member based websites? i also need to know how to script video, image, and music uploading.

thanks

If you have no prior experience then http://w3schools.com/ is the way to go. When you get fairly good with the basics of MySQL and PHP then I'm sure you could find some more advanced tutorials by just googling something like "advanced PHP tutorials" and chances are you should find something.

Good luck with the site. I find PHP and MySQL to be very boring.

thank you, after i posted that i made this in php.
http://yyz.ulmb.com/register.php#

yyz.ulmb.com is just a temporary domain to test things out.

made a register page, i have the submit link performing

Code: Select all

<form action="register2.php" method="get">

now on register2.php i want the user to be e-mailed with the e-mail he entered, should it be like this?

Code: Select all

$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;


also, how do i make a "open/close" box like youtube
