Hi, I wanted to know what scripting language to would recommend to use, in creating a message board (asp, php etc.). Could you tell me the pros and cons too!

Thanks!

Welcome to Webforumz!

I assume from your quesWion that you don't know many languages, or that you don't program. Your real question should be - Do I really want to make my own message board? Why not use already existing software instead?

Making your own requires detailed knowledge of the language you want to use, many many days, weeks and usually months of your time, good knowledge of internet security and generally good experience.

To answer your question, it doesn't matter what language you use. The choice of language depends mainly on your preferences. I wouldn't recommend one, but I would recommend downloading pre-existing message board software, such as the one we use, phpbb.

To be honest with you, if you are going to build one PHP and ASP are just as good as the other, but if your looking into downloading an existing one, I have found there are better PHP versions made. Simply because the people who made good ones used PHP to make them.
