I need a forum installed to my existing website. It doesn't need to be related to the website database-wise. Meaning users of the website won't automatically have a forum account. So the forum is a standalone script, this should make your work easy. I will give you a header for it. Apart from that, it's all up to you. Needs to have user registration, admin. I will need a PHP script that creates the database tables. I will write the username/passw/database_name somewhere and the script will use them.
