Hello everyone, I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend. I am learning php so I can grasp some of the concepts behind building sites. My main goal is to try and build a chat site. With that being said my first goal is learning to building admin panels, so I have a few questions I am in need help with answering. From what I have seen downloading a couple of site scripts and viewing demos it seems like admin panels are made of tables. So do we create the admin panels with tables or do we create a cms? I am still learning so kind of new to the differences if any between the two. My other question is there any tuts. out there for creating admin panels? I am assuming that if they are made they use php scripts.
Running before you can walk is very hard.
seems like admin panels are made of tablesThey are made of sections But it depends what you call a table ?
A database table, html table, css div or a php section.
It depends what you want in the admin backend
It also is not advisable to start with anything that can let others in to your backend.
If I was you I would start the front end then you will understand more once you get to the backend.
Loads of videos on php try youtube or buy some of the video lessons from well known tutorial makers.
Hello Jojo,
A cms which stands for Content Management System can be designed with tables as well. It is just the design to be honest. An Admin Panel can be design with anything you want such table div or paragragh. AdminPanel just means Restricted to administrator only therefore they must be logged in and be administrator as well. Don’t worry much about the Design as it is just that “Design.” I always go for a working beta prototype first and then i make it look fancy which is the design.
About the admin,
a couple years ago i watched these videos and i found them really helpful

I agree with Noodles,
If you are a beginner don’t try do something advanced like Admin Only pages
