Free topsite scripts

[Razor42]

This is another one of my learning adventures :). Basically I need a good basic topsite script which is free that I can build upon and make into what I want it to be! It's needs to be:

-Built with PHP & MySQL/MySQLi

-Easy to read coding

-Easy to build upon

-The basic topsite features (I.e. voting, adding sites etc.)

And that's about it! :) thanks for taking your time to read my post :D.

So you are looking into some existing code or want to code it yourself?

Existing code to build upon, I'd create it myself but I wouldn't know where to start! That's why I need some existing code.

Start by having a list of sites, a registration and submition process, a review panel, and some sort of "voting" system. Don't forget to add some captcha and your basic top site is done. Honestly it's really not something hard... anyhow there is open source scripts which do that.

Not hard for the likes of you, I have never ventured into a project like this but as my coding gets better I need to begin to test myself and learn new things so this is what's next in my learning curve! Ill see what I can do and post some updates in the next few weeks to show you how it's going :)

A basic top site shouldnt be really difficult, I'd go about it like this:

1) Make a basic login and registration process

2) Make a page for them to add their game, here basically you execute an mysql command to take the site url and store in your db

3) Your db table should have a column for votes, default value = 0

4) Make another php file to display all url's in your db and sort by desc votes

5) Make a button on that table which says vote

6) When someone clicks that button, increase the value in your db by 1

and you have your basic voting site made, now build from here to enable only single votes per day etc :)
