If you want to have the same lists as others have, why don't you just look at the HTML source for a page that has a country list, and simply copy it?
As for a forum, they can be done in many languages. A good free one using PHP (which this forum uses) can be found at http://www.phpbb.com/. |

Hi doctorgonzo,
Just a correction, these forums use vBulletin not PHPBB. Any way, vBulletin isn't free, and IMHO, PHPBB is the best free forum available around. |

I meant this forum uses the language PHP, not the forum software PHPBB. Thanks for the clarification, aym_7; I can see that I didn't word that too well up there.

Hi grasshopperbe,
You need a server side programming language like PHP to create forums, client side languages like JavaScript can not be used. |

PHP inherits from C/Java and from Perl, so you'll be familiar with many things when starting to learn (from C/Java), but you'll find many weird things too (from Perl).
Good luck! |
