Does anyone know any good free host that has php and sql?

Unfortunately you're not very likely to get a free host that offers PHP and mySQL, at least not one that is any good. If you need those features for a site, you'd be better off buying some cheap shared hosting, try Dathorn Internet Services - they have a very cheap introductory package that should meet your needs.

I don't feel like paying I was about to make a clan site for my friend with forum and things.And he doesn't want to pay for hosting. i remember seeing a host offer free sql,php etc but they had to shutdown due to umm low on $$$
Thanks for suggesting those links so far i think the deals are better than what so far i seen.

Bah, and nah! Just don't use PHP or mySQL. I wanted to as well but my HTML clan site looks just fine for now. If you want a free forum script I hear that phpBB is pretty good.
If you want to check out my clan site, go to www.zombiewarriors.tk and see how simple it is and still looks nice. Just get a nice template and start building. Besides, I know how clans are (I have lead many and lead one now) and they don't last forever. So don't work your butt off on PHP when HTML is just around the corner.

On the topic of free hosts that are just for HTML and such, here is a small list:
www.freewebs.com
www.250free.com
www.yupapa.com

P.S. I would DEFINATLY not reccomend host ultra, looks good with the "unlimited storage and bandwidth" and such, but its a scheme. Files can't exceed like 1 or 2 mb and the ads on your site will be extremely ridiculous.

The fact that it's called PHPbb dosn't strike a nerve?


Phpbb runs off Php coding, and uses an SQL database..

actually I've run a squad for 6 years... straight..

over 2000 members.. something like 29 games..

besides, with PHP you can set up a nuke site in about 30 seconds.

change the template, and it's done

Im just making a clan site for my friend and the site would be kinda not interactive just using html.(i know javascript to add a bit of effect into it but im not good at javascript im not really an internet programmer anyway all i know is php and sql and html of course)
Phpbb is a forum and you require a SQL database and a php capable server.(i Run a local site on my LAN and i use that forum and changed some things on it tongue.gif )


If you want that code its available free just go to www.phpbb.com

I need to learn php.. the only programming language useful for building websites is html.. and all that does is line up all the data so it looks nice and pretty. XD

Yeah sorry, I was being a little slow. How is it possible to setup a Nuke site in 30 seconds? I've talked to experienced webmasters who have said it takes hours upon hours.

6 years is a long time of clan leading, yet to have that amount of members is probably on different games than what I lead on. I would be interested in seeing information about your squad. Let me rephrase, proof. If I had that responsibility I would be 6 feet under with a bullet to the head by now. So as of now, I take it as a lie. For one to frequently play and be skilled on 29 games and have the natural leadership skills to lead 2000 members, one would have the leadership skills of a real army general.

My clan forum is hosted by yupapa for a very low price, PHP compatible.
