Im creating a login script for my website for my own members area, one thing I would like to create is a sort of online knowledge base which hangs of an SQL database.

I want to have different sections for the KB for the different areas I work in, ill then be able to select a drop down box for catagories where it will then list the kb articles. I also want the ability to type out and submit a KB article from the page which will store it in the database ready for viewing.

Used launguages will be XHTML/PHP/SQL

Has anyone done this before?

Thanks all :)

Have a look on hotscripts.com, you'll find loads of pre-written open source solutions you can use.
 
Thanks for the links guys, will take a look at hotscripts.com later I think.

I would like to script it by hand but at the moment I dont think iv got the time as I want to focus on other projects. It all depends on how hard/how much time it will take to script my own. Else ill just use a pre-built one.

I thought hotscripts.com you have to pay for most of them?
 
If anyone could also give me some tips on creating a knowledge base from scratch would be helpful as it helps me practise my coding skills.

Thanks
 
Wiki wiki, although if its a personal "improve my code" project you might be better off doing it with a little help from hotscripts and sites like it than just installing a wiki :p
