Just learning PHP from a tutorial is futile.
Things like functions, custom functions, etcetera, it's all good and cool to know, but if you don't need them for a while, you won't use them and most likely will forget them anyway. Things you should get under your knee and know about, and not with just PHP for that matter, are syntax, possibilities and flexibility. Let's say you start building a webpage, and you're in need of a specific function, from that point, it's good to look up on the function, and if you did that a few times, or maybe even the first time, you'll get the hang of that function.
Don't just learn all kinds of stuff you most likely won't ever need anyway. |

Don't skip the basics  Knowing how to do this kind of stuff is important for fun interactive sites. |

I knew a little of PHP, but I skipped some things when I was learning. |

Even if you know a shitload of PHP, it's not like you'll emediately know how a new forum system is put together, especially if that system uses a bunch of custom functions, which is usually the case. Don't be a smartass.
Anyway, name colors are created using the sex and powerlevel fields, an example (assuming you are selecing the sex and powerlevel fields):
<font ".getnamecolor($user[sex],$user[powerlevel]).">$user[name]</font>
getnamecolor($user[sex],$user[powerlevel]) outputs strings like color=000000, color=453423, color=876543, etcetera. |

I still have one question:
How would I have a different link color depending on a attribute in my table (like the powerlevel/user sex, here) |

the connection to the DB is done when you require function.php |

That was simple. I don't think the rest will be hard to add (connect to db). Thanks! |

Something like this will do it.
$users=@mysql_query("SELECT id,name FROM users");
while ($user=@mysql_fetch_array($users)) echo "<a href=\"user.php?id=$user[id]\">$user[name]</a><br>\n"; |

I'm wondering what is the php code that let's me display a link for every individual row in my table (lets say a User Table).
Something like this:
First Row of Table
Second Row of Table
Third Row of Table
Fourth Row of Table
