Any good PHP websites?

[soten355]

HTML is a good language to use for simple websites, but I wanted my website to have some user-interaction with it. As far as I can tell, that is beyond HTML's capabilities.
I wanted a website where you could see the individual games I created and comment on them (kind of like a blog with individual posts on the same page with a like to see comments). I also wanted the user to have some features along side with a forum. So, in other words, I wanted to design my site that functioned like RedvsBlue.com.

So, with that set in mind, I went about the internet searching for a good php dynamic website I could use. Unfortunately, I could not find software that could do that. PHP-Nuke was too much of a CMS, nucleas was too much of a hassle to maintain as a website that features games, and I didn't want to install a forum when I've already got one with a multitude of posts in it (and I won't be able to convert the forum because it's on invisionfree).

So does anyone know of any good php website software that can satisfy my needs?

A already know dozens of sites that are more comprehensive on PHP and how to make websites for them, but I need a ready-made template changable php website. I need to focus more time on making games then developing a website.

In my opinion, the best CMS for your needs would be Drupal. It already has built in many features, including commenting, forums, blogs and can be extending with many user-made modules.

http://drupal.org

Drupal huh? Well I tried it after you suggested it and it seems to be working. Is there any tutorials you can point to for creating themes for it?
BTW: Thanks for suggesting it.

Well, there is a collection of already made themes on http://drupal.org/project/Themes

You can just use one which layout you like, and than change images and edit CSS to suit your needs.
