With the development of the Internet, more and more netizens have begun to learn to build their own websites, provide their information to others through the website, and discuss issues and express opinions with other friends through forums. Major websites have also established their own forums to attract many netizens. Many people hope to learn how to establish a forum. Today I will introduce to you how to establish a forum.
It is impossible for ordinary users like us to write the entire PHP forum by ourselves. The best way is to use other people’s ready-made forums to achieve the purpose of building our own forum. There are many forum prototypes established using PHP language on the Internet. Through years of experience, I feel that Discuz! is even more outstanding in terms of PHP forums. It was developed and promoted by domestic PHP experts. Most of the well-known domestic sites also established forums through Discuz!. When buying products, we must support domestic products, so when we use forums, we should also choose domestic software without hesitation. The more important point is that the Discuz! Forum is completely free, so the author has always loved it. This time I also pay attention to introducing the method of setting up the Discuz! Forum.

To successfully establish a forum and put it into use, multiple software supports are required, mainly including site publishing tools, PHP programs, forum main programs and databases program. Generally speaking, the combination of PHP program and MYSQL database is more perfect, because MYSQL's own management tool phpmyadmin is written in PHP language.
