Ok, I've already told Sicloan that I finally bought my portfolio domain, http://www.jd-inflames.com , and now I'm trying to script it. If you guys remember, the first script I had ever written was a portfolio script. Well, I'm starting to think that it sucks, for what I'm wanting anyway That script pretty much just allowed you to link to what you had done and manage it. A more dynamic version of Sicloan's Missionsix.net (his old layout anyway). Well, now I'm going further than that.

Here's what I'm wanting to do, and the hard things I can already do (for the most part), it's just the simple things that I don't seem to know how to do yet. Ok, this is what I'm wanting my skins.php to look like (A page to show off my vB skins)



Anyone think they can help me? I want it to be purty

I'll tell you how you can set this up.

make a mysql table that stores the skin name / type / link to image / link to skin / id.

now here is your two queries:

"select distinct(type) from skins"

while (fetch (first query) ) {

"select * FROM skins where type = \"query1[type]\" ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1"

}

that should get you started. of course you'll have to modify it a bunch but you get the jist of those two queries.
