Yes, SMF was built with php...and you don't need to understand php to install it.

What do you mean by installing it on mobile?

That's the answer to your first question! I don't understand the mobile part too.

Samskid13: K so do u mean i can use smf without even installing it?

No, you can't use smf without first installing it.

Samskid13: nd pls can u only install it on your pc

You can install it on any device that has a web server or that you can install a web server. I'm only aware of installing it on a pc.

K please cn we get in touch? And since nairaland is smf what wos the real naijaloaded

Samskid13: K please cn we get in touch? And since nairaland is smf what wos the real naijaloaded

Nairaland used to be smf but it's no longer smf. Though the database structure may well be smf but the template and backward was custom built a few years back.

You can send me a mail via info@internetvisa.net

Samskid13: K please cn we get in touch? And since nairaland is smf what wos the real naijaloaded

Nairaland is not SMF O! They use their own script. I think old Naijaloaded is the owners script too.

K then which platform is nairaland from?

Samskid13: K then which platform is nairaland from?

Nairaland was customly built from scratch with perl.

Perl??i tot oga seun sed smf

Samskid13: Perl??i tot oga seun sed smf

Perl is the scripting language that was used while php was used for smf.

pls can u elaborate

Samskid13: pls can u elaborate

Nairaland used to run on smf and smf is a forum software that you can install on your site instead of coding the forum from scratch but as time went by, Nairaland thought it wise to create their own forum software due to a couple of issues which include but not limited to security. So, Nairaland was designed using perl scripting language instead of php scripting language which was used by those who designed smf.

Xo which 1 do u think is better

Samskid13: Xo which 1 do u think is better

It's not about which is better. it's about which one you can afford. Creating a forum like nairaland will cost you nothing less than 150k(my opinion). You can just use smf. It's not everybody that has the luxury of creating a forum from scratch.

Xo you mean i cn clone nairaland with smf?

Samskid13: Xo you mean i cn clone nairaland with smf?

Yes you can!

And here I am thinking it is anaconda and pineapple is the HTTP server.

You're right. That was an error on my part.

Xo if its python what next?

Samskid13: Xo if its python what next?

Just removed where i put perl and change it with python. Nothing changes.

Xo can we continue?

Samskid13: Xo can we continue?

With what? What's your question?

Which 1 do u think is gud 4 a newbie to start with

Samskid13: Which 1 do u think is gud 4 a newbie to start with

Start with smf to setup a forum but if you want to learn a scripting language then i'll suggest php.

Confused tot u sed smf wos built with php

Samskid13: Confused tot u sed smf wos built with php

Yes, it was built with php. How's it confusing?

Then which php shuld i then start with?

Samskid13: Then which php shuld i then start with?

u seem confused or u have no idea what you are doing.. I guess u already know that php is a programming language used in creating the smf forum software.

wordpress is a CMS also built using php, web masters install wordpress on a web server, the same is done with smf(it's also installed on a web server).
