 So do you use HTML in PHP? Is MySlq a progam and if so is it free? are the on-line tutorials for MySlq any good? Are there any other things that are good to know for php? Do you know a free host the lets you use php(if you can't post the link can you pm it to me? I am a little fuzzy on if you can post links to help)

 PHP only outputs HTML. It's MySQL, stop misspelling it :P http://mysql.com The manual is easy. Not really. No.

 Huh?

Smarty is a markup language.

 don't some of the IPB files have => in them like /soruce/topics.php or admin_pages.php ?. I was asking someone on AIM if they could make some mods for a forum and they asked if any of the files of the source has => in them. I said yes and this is what he said back:
[17:23]: Well, then I can't help you. See, that's a very advanced source, most likly using "Smarty" in the code, which is a template system. I don't know Smarty, and don't plan to learn it, and if you don't know Smarty, then it is very hard to... um... work around it.

 DLF: Oh. Well whoever told you that was really dumb :P

=> is an key-value link. In an array, you do something like $members = array( "DuffMan" => 1, "Seth" => 2);

Das Ein: a language that changes the look or presentation of the content it delivers.

 I thought it was array( 1 => 'Bleh', 2 => 'Umm?' );
Bleh.
I'm losing it.

 Seth is talking about creating an associative array that has the key (username) point to a number (value).

 i use 100 webspace for my site for the forum locator, has always been good for me

and now for my problems!!!

Login Sessions

I am making a login system for my site (a non IF one) that refers to an mysql database of members. I have the login.php page working, but i want it to set a cookie (session) to keep a user logged in while they browse. If somebody could write me one, or point me in the direction of a good one, i would appreciate it.

All it needs to do is keep somebody logged in!

Code:
 
setcookie("something","else",time()+3600*3);

That would set a cookie that lasts 3 hours.
Not sure how the timething works exactly.
(Think you can just enter any number of seconds but I'm not sure about that)

*Qj is working on something like that.
(I want a multi topic guestbook alike thing where peolpe can join and have a edit function and stuff like that, and wanna make it myself)

Not working on the loggin part yet.
(But it can't be that hard :/ )

 Don't use cookies, use sessions.

Look up startsession() and the $_SESSION superglobal.
