[Rogue Znowman]

Hey.
There's another forum that I am involved with, which is based on one of my real life hobbies. We use the forum to organise games/meets, as well as buy/sell items, and of course for discussion.

The current forum is quite old, and is using a free, remotely hosted forum from Conforums ( http://www.conforums.com ), which completely lacks all features that may be useful. With my urging, we've decided to create a new version of the board, definitely php-based.

I've volunteered to take an admin's seat and set it up. Now, my only concern is that I have no php experience. What I'd like from you guys, is advice on which software to use, and any help on finding a good place to assist me in learning the language.

Software I'm considering:
- Invision http://www.invisionboard.com
- vBulletin http://www.vbulletin.com
- phpbb http://www.phpbb.com (free)

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I love Invision. Never tried the others, but just love it. If you ever need some help with anything, lemme know.

I taught PHP to myself. It's actualy not that hard to understand. www.php.net is a great way to look stuff up. Or do a google search like:
site:php.net search stuff
to get a detailed description on how a specific function works in PHP.
Taught myself C++, HTML, Java and VB in the same ways.

If you have an eye for it, you'll get by!

Luck!!
