Need help with tiberius.siteburg.com

[supertanker]

Okay. Currently tiberiusstation is using php files only so I can use the Include() function for Iggy's Psedu-frames.

I want to somehow use a database so I can make all the descriptions and stuff displayed using one file, instead of a file per map. Also, I want to use php so I can arrange maps alphabeticaly depending on what link the user clicks (I.e, click A, go to hte maps starting with A, click B, go to maps starting with b, ect)

Please help, I am an absolute n00b when it comes to php, and any help would be appriciatred.

My host uses MySQL and probably has DBA functions installed too.

is everyone except Iggy ignoring my threads for some reason? At least one of you 7000 people should know....

A good number of poeple know, unfortuantly what you just asked isnt as simple as do this and do that, it requires tons and tons of work, and knowledge regarding a vast number of topics.

So its quite hard to just reply too on the forums.

I'm personally ignoring you because you were the one who started the HTMLStuff thread, wherein you proposed to start yet another HTML help site without knowing enough about HTML to be qualified.

Incidentally, Tiberius still says "Welcome to HTMLStuff" on it.

Oh well, here's some advice anyway:

Your site needs a doctype.

Rather than ask the forum to code you a content management system, download one of the dozens of them already out there. The kids love Mambo, I'm stuck with Coranto, but look around here:

Yes, that looks like an hour's work to me. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/redface.gif

Then do the work yourself instead of demanding people do it for you and then complaining later.
