The problem with that is I don't have any code to show since I'm going
to be writing it :)
Basically, it's a site where people can upload pictures to compare
with other's (Non-porn) so I need to write an authentication system
for that, but that is taken care of... Another aspect of the site
though is a User Forum where the users can interact with each and talk
about what ever they want.
So, I need to either:
#1. Write my own web forum. OR
#2. Integrate a currently existing one to work with my authentication
system.
I'm leaning towards #1 since it sounds easier to me at this point then
#2.
Clear as mud now? :)

If I fully understood the question you were asking then no.
Since it seems you are using a database there is no need to serialize.
You can write a simple function that fetches user data from a DB query
and then creates the object.
If you are going to use sessions you will have to do that only when
the user logs in and for verification purposes of whatever kind.
You might think of something similar to:

In your original post you did not mention a "picture upload site" so I
suggest it is about uploading pictures to the forum/attaching them to
a thread.
I do not really have an idea of how your site will be operating, but I
guess you analyze the GET parameters and include files according to
them.
Some code might be helpful to explain what you want

So are you suggesting, create the users in the forum, and then just
serialize/unserialize when needed to store the info so when they go
to the
picture upload side it queries the forum database?

Hi Everyone,
I am looking at writing my own web based user forum somewhat for
my own
knowledge, and because I know that I don't know enough to be able
to tie
in
authentication so they only need 1 user account.
Does anyone have any examples short of downloading something like
phpbb
and
tearing it apart?
It will probably be really light weight, basic forum that
hopefully will
expand into more as time goes on :)
I've tried searching the web but have not been able to turn up
any help
unless I was to write a bridge for a song...
Any knowledge you can bestow upon me is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
