How To Automatically Make URLs Posted In A Forum Active Links?
I've been working on modifying a forum script for some time now and its almost ready to go. You can test it at http://www.designlaunchpad.com/forum if you like. The one additional feature I want to implement is the automatic creation of a link when someone posts a URL in their message. Most forums have this, is it that tough to add in? I'm pretty comfortable editing PHP and understanding what is happening where but I suck at authoring it. I checked the manual at php.net and tried searching this forum and google but keep running into dead ends. So can someone offer me some suggestions or point me toward some help?

How Do I Make My Site Secure?
I'm gonna start work on a website soon. It's gonna involve a good amount of people interacting with a DB (logging in, adding comments, voting, what not). I'm gonna write the site in PHP/MySQL.

The only thing is that I've never made a website with this much DB interaction before and I'm worrying that it won't be secure. Does anyone have any suggested reading for someone who is an intermediate PHP/MySQL programmer but knows almost nothing about security?

Optimizing MySQL To Make Site Load Quicker
I recently coded a site that is based mainly off of mysql. I currently query the database 4 times in two for() loops I'm not sure how to change it, because I see no other way. I can't put the queries outside of the loops because in the loop it queries something different every time.

I want some help optimizing it! However, I don't want to post all my code here, because it's basically the main part of my site, and I don't want others copying me.

Matching External Data With Database For Dynamic Site
I have a  table with 4 columns where I'm showing 900 products, each product in it's own row The first column has the name of the product, that is coming from our database. The next 2 columns are ratings for each product, These ratings are gathered from 2 different external web pages. The reason that this rating are being grabbed from an external page it's because they change and are updated on a daily basis at their respective site.

The last column is a final rating we give to each product based on a calculation of the  2 previous columns. The main idea is that the information updates automatically as the external sites do. The problem is matching the data for each product. Code:

the connecting pages in a site?
I tried using Dreamweaver MX 2004's, but the best it can do is see
connections in HTML. It'd only go one layer deep and find only a few
connections for a total of about 6 pages out of the dozens.

Advice On Forum To Built
I'm going to build a simple forum in mySQL.
I've thought about it for a while now, but still can't figure it
out completely:

If i have say 5 main categories,
One has 5 sub-categories.
Each sub category consists of individual threads.
Wich each has the possibility to be commented.

The question concerns the thread & comments part.
My first idea was to create one table Threads, and one
Comments.
The Threads-table would have the original post, starting a thread,
and the Comments table would have the comment, and the id of
the thread it belongs to. (so all comments there are in the whole
forum)

Now i thought of the following:
I could create a new table for each thread to save it's comments in.
And call it e.g. 'Comments_4576', (belonging to thread 4576)

Pro is a lot faster to load, delete etc. but contra is more difficult
to
count cross-tables and everything.

A Peculiar Sort Of Forum Needed
Am looking for a sort of a forum. What's different is that all
postings would have one or more addressees, and postings wd be visible
only to them and the originator. Unthreaded is OK. (No, mail won't do
what I need.)

Env is a moderately small number of users.

I've dl'd and installed a number of PHP forums, but none so far have
the noted capabilities.

DB Structure To Writing A Forum Script.
I'm looking into making my own forum script and I want some honest opinions on the backend sql table structure I have.

Table 3: Boards: pk: BoardID
Table 4: Post: pk: PostID included keys (UserID, ThreadID)

Then just apply basic pagination from there to display based on ThreadID/BoardID
Is this a good system, or will having all post in 1 table screw me up?
