I'm looking for a php script/system that can let users login/register, post links, vote on links. Are there any open source project doing that?
I'm looking for something similar like reddit.com or dzone.com.
Cheers.

It's unfair to close my question. check out this one: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10562715/php-login-registration-user-management-script – Ryan Feb 20 '14 at 02:21

Depends on the time of day/night I guess. The night crew's been coding all day, best to ask this at the crack of dawn sometimes. @Ryan – Funk Forty Niner Feb 20 '14 at 02:22

@Ryan: we're going to close it now actually – zerkms Feb 20 '14 at 02:22

I have been searching for quite a while, just want to get a answer here. Please be lenient – Ryan Feb 20 '14 at 02:24

"just want to get a answer here" --- unfortunately SO isn't a google for projects. It's a community for developers. – zerkms Feb 20 '14 at 02:25

@Ryan SO is not for recommending tools – meda Feb 20 '14 at 02:25

@Ryan The fact that the question you link to isn't closed doesn't mean that your questions shouldn't be closed, it just means that both should be. http://stackoverflow.com/help/on-topic – sashkello Feb 20 '14 at 03:20

As per Zerkms's request.
"Are there any open source project doing that?" - Yes
On a more serious note, here is a list of some of the (script) resources which have helped me in the past. You will find many good and free scripts that will get you up and going with your project.
- http://www.hotscripts.com/
- http://www.resourceindex.com/
- http://php.resourceindex.com/
- http://www.tizag.com/
- http://phpro.org/tutorials/Object-Oriented-Programming-with-PHP.html
- http://code.tutsplus.com/categories/php
- http://www.91weblessons.com/mysql-prepared-statements-with-php/
- http://php.net
- http://mysql.com
and an mysqli method: http://w3epic.com/php-mysql-login-system-a-super-simple-tutorial/
However in the link just above, where they have:
$username = $_POST['username'];
I would make it as:
$username = mysqli_real_escape_string($mysqli,$_POST['username']);
etc. (just to be on the safe side)
There are a few links that are a good read, in regards to security that I feel you should also be made aware of when putting something together as such:
Plus, do use the latest password technology and not storing them as plain text like many do today.
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcrypt (bcrypt)
- http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.passwords.php (PHP's password hashing)
Always hash (and salt) passwords, not encrypt; remember that.

The question was closed with a mix of being too broad a question, or asking for a tool/library and those are pretty much off-limit here. This type of question consists of many different pieces of code put together, PHP, HTML, MySQL and the list goes on. You just need to really Google the the words you've put in your question and it will yield many results, I can guarantee it. @Ryan – Funk Forty Niner Feb 20 '14 at 02:25

On a more serious note, I added a few websites in my answer that have proved extremely useful to me in the past, I now code everything by hand now, so I rarely go there anymore. @Ryan – Funk Forty Niner Feb 20 '14 at 02:31

And this one looks promising http://w3epic.com/php-mysql-login-system-a-super-simple-tutorial/ which has also been listed in my answer. I hope it all helps as much as they have for me. @Ryan – Funk Forty Niner Feb 20 '14 at 02:45
