      I love people who hate or don't use mysql .xdlol.
      Great coding. And script has good features. Many people believe that flat_files are unsecure and slow.
      And i found a new way how to not use file_get_contents or any. It's a new feature of my script. Brings down high cpu usage. And i want a help:
      I use,
      $_session["user"]="username";
      For storing username.
      And also uses flat files .lol.
      Then how to show if user is online or offline ?

      And also i copied and modified some of your created functions. Any problems

            Update

            ive been working on the script to make it an open forum (rather than hidden) and also added seo friendly looking links,
            and also created a function to convert the site links (that needs it) to also look seo friendly.

            there maybe a few bugs i will need to air out. but you can see it in action now.

            as long as my computer is on. then youll be able to see these.
            main index page:
            Main
            test thread page:
            String Replace From A Text file
            test forum page:
            Coding Forum

            once this is finished it will not work with all old databases. so it will prob be best to run this version
            as a fresh install. there was a problem with the converting of site links etc, so had to change the way
            it reads/gets the threads from database. and it now doesnt recognize alot of symbols or the symobls break the preg_replace() functions and causing the file_exists() func to behave strangely. ie: . (period) + (plus) & (and) - (minus) etc etc.

            i am using an old database atm so if you was to look for some threads with these type of symobls in youll notice you get a page something like this:
            uest Your Logo Here!.
            but of course the file does exist. it just breaks cos its found a . (period) in the file name.
            so ive had to also restrict symobls in new created thread names to stop this happening when goes live and after fresh install.

            think thats it, should keep you interested for a little while at least.
            <?php
            include ('Ghost');
            if ($Post == true) {
            echo '

            sigpic
            alt='coding-talk.com!!' />';
            echo 'Sharing Is Caring!';
            } else {
            echo '

            alt='the username GHOST has been comprimised!' />';
            echo 'OMG SOMEBODY HELP ME!!';
            }
            ?>

                this script also uses session to store the username after login.
                $_SESSION['valid_user']
                i was not able to find a way of counting how many users was online using the session variable.
                due to not being able to get all session info. the session data is open to the user only after all.
                so you would have to use flat file to accomplish this.
                look inside functions.php file and locate online_check() and offline_check() funcs i believe they are called.
                then look inside main.php to see how you could/would call them.

                there is no problem with you copying/modding any part of the code in the script.
                there is no copyright on it. and i pity the person who tries to really.
                i created the script to share with people and with the hope that people would build on the script
                and share its content with other coders/users like they did with lavalair.
                <?php
                include ('Ghost');
                if ($Post == true) {
                echo '

                sigpic
                alt='coding-talk.com!!' />';
                echo 'Sharing Is Caring!';
                } else {
                echo '

                alt='the username GHOST has been comprimised!' />';
                echo 'OMG SOMEBODY HELP ME!!';
                }
                ?>

                            Bro i will not come online for 1month. So telling the thing here:
                            Just save your data like this:
                            title
                            subject is this
                            user
                            as a php file:
                            <?php
                            $fdata="title
                            subject is this
                            user";
                            ?>
                            So instead of file_get_contents
                            just include file and do what you want. Very easy better than file get contents
