I'm trying to make a dynamic timeline like facebook that can post pictures and descriptions with dates using mysql php for database. I put bootstrap because I like their design, and it's easy to use.
My problem is i don't know where to begin or where do I study it.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about:
Any suggestions?
What a generic question... this seems to me an impossible question to answer but maybe you need just some little advices to begin studying the right languages which you can use to achieve what you want.
First of all please provide an image of what you want to do and more important the fundamental languages that you have to know are HTML (obviously), CSS, Javascript and PHP for some server side script.
Talking specifically about your problem, here is where you can see some open examples with well commented code that allows you to understand everything.

I apologize for asking such a beginner question, but i'm unsure on where else I could go to get such help. I'm currently creating a php website using GoggleApp Engine. I've created a very simple form using html in the same file as my PHP. Now, I know this isn't good practice, so I want to break up my html into it's own file. My only question is, how would I re-write this code assuming that my html is in it's own file?
It is perfectly fine to place your PHP code in the same file as your HTML code. However, if you are going to duplicate code, it would be best to have separate files (maybe say a header and footer file).
That way you can use require_once("header.php") and require_once("footer.php") in each file that wants to use the top and bottom portions of your code.
As Sven mentioned, you can look into templating. You can also look into coding habits such as MVC (Model View Controller) and similar methods.

Hello everyone, I have a project and I want to create an MVP: Minimum Viable Product.
And I have html pages ready but I don't know how to make them interact with databases, preferably MySQL.
I need the simplest way to be able to POST and GET data from a database, PHP or Rails.
IF there's just one simple tutorial or a small ebook to read, I'll be so thankful.
I have to the end of the month to create the MVP, about 20 days or so, and I really want to make that happen and I was gonna learn the whole Rails just to do that, but it'll take time you know!
Thanks for your time and I hope that you might help me :)
You can't make HTML directly interacting with database. You should create server-side application, which answer queries generated by HTML forms, JS queries, etc. I am PHP developer, I like this language, so I recommend you using it in your solution.
You can read about connecting PHP to MySQL database here:
http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_mysql_connect.asp
There you have basic information about handling data sent by POST:
http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_forms.asp
If you have any troubles during develop proccess try Google before, then if didn't find answer ask specific and well described question on Stack Overflow.
Best luck!

I just want anyone to correct me if I'm wrong. Can I create a CMS by making a file where you log in as an admin and then you can write an article and send it to a database table. In another file display all articles from the table with ORDER BY id. To delete you simply make a delete script. Do I have to use any other languages like xml or something? Thanks!
The question: Can I make a simple cms by just using PHP and HTML?
No, you don't need other languages.
PHP and MySQL should be sufficient.
Well, the way the articles are displayed depends of HTML, CSS or JS codes you use.
I'm not quite sure what you're asking exactly. But you could easily write something like that in just PHP and HTML, and use a database to store the information.

I would like to know what is the best approach, based on good programming practices to show an external webpage (say Facebook or Twitter) on my website while being able to modify the HTML and CSS before showing it.
I know that I could use an iFrame however based on some opinions the iFrame does not seem to be a good programming practice (width issues, ugly scrollbars, etc).
Is there a better approach?
Update: Question was put on "too broad", in order to limit the possible answers I would like to know if it possible to change the CSS (and only CSS) of an iFrame, the user Muhammad Umer commented that it would be possible but provided no more details. Someone knows how to achieve this?
This can be done in PHP. First I want to suggest to look for API's. Facebook has some nice API's which allow you to show them on your website, with some options to customize is.
The more difficult (and lots of work to maintain) is using file_get_contents() and using some parsers and regex to get the parts you want. Allthough facebook (and some other sites) might prove difficult, they load some parts via JS, so file_get_contents cant get everything
Again, API's are the way to go.

I have a very simple website, and would like to create a 'Comments' section to it. Currently I have a HTML document and a CSS document running the site.
I have a little knowledge of PHP, and would like to keep this as simple as possible - i.e: saving comments to a text file perhaps? But not sure.
Can someone please suggest the simplest way of adding the comments options in.
Thanks for any help.
You can use Facebook Connect to add comments to an existing page: http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/472 (Updated Link)
I found that post by searching google for "add facebook comments to your site"
It requires a MySQL database (which, if you're developing with PHP, is something that's better to get a cursory knowledge of sooner rather than later), but Commentator is a pretty nice, simple comment script. See: http://ratherodd.com/commentator/
You actually can do this very easily using file_get_contents() and file_put_contents(). Using only a flat text file and no database.
I set up an example page at:
