php-forum help

[canadian_legend]

I recently downloaded a php-forum to add to my site. Now I know nothign about php, so I need help. The readme file says:

1: EDITING "config.php"
if you do not edit this file, your script will not work it is as simple as that.
You need to set the following variables, changing any other variables is optional

$dbusername
$dbpassword
$database

$adminusername
$adminpassword

Now how do I do that?

You assign these variables the appropriate string values, so that it looks like this


$dbusername = "mySecretUsername";
$dbpassword = "myExtremelySecretPassword";
$database = "theNameOfMyDB";
//..


Of course, only you know the correct data, i.e. what is inside the quoted text. But don't post it here on the board ;).
