PHP dating website

Divine

Hey im 21 and currently in the middle of my third year Computing with Multimedia project which is a dating website which allows you to rate it members etc. omething like hotornot but a little more complex.
Anyway im using php for the most of it but im having a little trouble creating inboxes and messages for the seperate users. Would any of you have any sort of tips for me or maybe a website where i could view some samples.

Thanks

i found the easiest way to do this is to

1] download a PHPBB forum

2] look at the makeup of the following tables
phpbb_privmsgs
phpbb_privmsgs_text

after a little experimentation you should be able to tell what all the fields do

then just adapt your code to this system

if you need more info just lemmie know.

I can't imagine it could be that hard.. just add an extra table to your database for it...

id, to_id, from_id, date, subject, message, read

and display as normal within the protected (logged in user) part of the site...

on the other hand maybe the latter (logging in and sessions) is what you require help with.. if so just take a look at the page for session_start() on php.net and work from there (thers a few good tutorials on devshed.net)
