Hello

I am trying to implement a private messaging system for a website, whereby members send, receive (even block) emails to/from each other.

I am initially thinking of attempting to implement this in PHP with MYSQL. Basically i would like it to eventually look something like Sticky Mail - but maybe with less functionality.

Has anyone implemented such a system? If so, please could you point me to any relevant information or scripts that i may find useful? I am open to other ways of approaching this.

Many thanks for all your help

hi!

i have not done that before but you can check out the code of phpbb. that board is open source and there is a complete pm system there.

in general i would create a table with 4 fields: fromid, toid, subject and message. fromid and toid are userids of whom / to whom the message has been send. ah, don't forget a date/time!
