First Line

[Jam-ez]

Hi,

When you start a user system, DJ panel, SNS, or anything like that, what's the fist line of code you write, what's the first file you create?

Just thought it'd be nice to know where you all start, whether it be the installation page, the core, the index... the list just goes on, and on.

Well my first line would be

<?php

First file is normally the database core. Depends what i'm making.

Create folders (includes, images)
Create files (configuration.php - MySQL, class_library.php - Classes, index.php)

Then I kick off coding.

Thanks for your help.

When i do coding (rearely and very badly )
I usually start of with the configuration as people have said, then i usually get a basic login done,.

The installation page would be a bad place to start, seeing as you haven't coded anything and you wouldn't know where to insert and what to insert.

A normally just copy my reusable database classes, etc. rather than remaking them for every project..

That's a good idea.

Makes sense... I like to rewrite though, because i feel that after every script i do my PHP has improved slightly

If I'm making a usersystem or djpanel I usually kick off proceedings with my config file like so:

<?php

session_start();

$host = "localhost";
$dbuser = "dbuser";
$dbpass = "dbpass";
$dbname = "dbname";

$con = mysql_connect("$host","$dbuser","$dbpass")
or die(mysql_error());

mysql_select_db("$dbname",$con)
or die(mysql_error());

$logged_in = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE `id` = '$_SESSION[id]' AND `password` = '$_SESSION[password]'");

$logged_in = mysql_fetch_array($logged_in);

$sitename = "Sitename";

?>

Then will come register and login, functions and so on.
