I just started making a website this morning, I want to make a network just like this one, but different. What type of things would I need to know and use to make one like this, with games and a forum where people can sign in and stuff? I am kinda new to this stuff, but everyone has to start somewhere!
1st question I came up to is, how do I align a picture to center?
With
CODE
<center> text here </center>
Does your server provide php and mysql?
I am insertina an image, would i do the same thing?
what do you mean?
That centers everything. What server do you have podt a link and I'll be able to help you more.
You need a server that supports the PHP server-side web programming language, have a few MySQL databases at your disposal, have a lot of online space, know HTML, PHP, CSS, and Javascript, have a fast server, and be a good administrator. No offense, but I doubt you can do it. I wasn't able to -_-.
I wouldn't use <center>. You're better off using a <p> and CSS with a text-align: center style.
CODE
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
p.Center
{
text-align: center;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p class="Center"><img src="Image.png" /></p>
</body>
</html>
Why not use Center, though? It's a bit easier to use, and he's just starting anyway. <p> tags are so annoying. I prefer to use <div> for that, though it's the same thing.
How would i center this?
CODE
<img src="7-7.jpg"
width="400" height="150">
CODE
<p class="center"><img src="7-7.jpg"
width="400" height="150"></p>
I highly suggest that you do not build a website until you have proper HTML knowledge, which is the basic building blocks of everything which is web related. You can go to
http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp to learn more about HTML and other web languages.
Forums will be using PHP, which is an advanced language and problems
will happen, so you will need to be able to fix them. If you plan on installing games, it gets much more complex.
Unless you want a forum with default settings and no mods, you should start learning how to write code.
I figured, but I learn fast, and when I set my mind to something, I like to get it done, and if I need help I can ask anyone on SEN!
With PHP half the problem is finding what code is causing it.
Do remember that while we're here to help you, at one time or another, it's best that you start fixing your own bugs and learning from them.
I learned PHP by trial and error, and it's better than asking Yoshi what I did wrong.
And much more polite

. I bought a PHP book that covers the basics so I don't have to be online to learn PHP. www.PHP.net is a valuable PHP resource, with a complete function list.
If you're coding in PHP and you don't have
http://www.php.net bookmarked then you should go into a room full of burly men.
php.net is the official PHP manual in which you will find everything related to the functionality, syntax and pretty much everything related to PHP.
I'll also suggest
http://www.phpfreaks.com/ for more proffesional help on PHP.
If I take you seriously, I have to go into a room full or burly men? I'd rather not. It's not hard to write www.php.net in the address bar

.
I found a lot of good PHP tutorials at www.tutorialized.com.
Yah. I use that often too. So, anything else, 7-7?
I was wondering how staredit made that cool heading at the top of every page, how do i do that with mine?

Php, to display it every page.
CODE
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xml:lang="en" lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head><title>Staredit Network -> Replying in Help</title>
<!-- This prevents naughty opera from caching some of the pages and not seeing updates -->
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<style type='text/css'>
This is the code for the site at the top, what I dont understand is how the text Saredit Network can be written like that as a heading
