Hi, apologies if I have placed this thread in the wrong section.

 

I want to build a site that I am going to share with some fellow final year students so that we can swap ideas and research etc.

 

I would like the site to be like wikipedia so users can go on-line login to activate privileges and then add and edit articles. Guests as such would only be able to view pages unless they register.

 

I would like to build the site in php but not sure how to build the editable part of the site?

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

If your new at PHP coding, this is a really tall order, and not an easy question to answer.

 

It may take you up to a year to learn the skills needed to be able to do it (safely, security wise). My best advice would be to download and use MediaWiki.

 

MediaWiki is the software that Wikipedia runs and so its easy to pick up to use. You can download it here if you like. (Plus it's free and open-source )

 

Good luck

If you study hard in 4 to 5 months you can learn php, but have to know at least basic HTML.
