Google didn't help much... I am looking for a tutorial or a script for creating a private messaging system for my website...

Does anyone know where???

I've tried pixel2art, and some gaming website, but they didn't help very much...

I've got a user registration/login system up. I just need some detailed tutorial that actually states what to name the file instead of guess, and hope it works... :/

You can name the file whatever you want o_O Did you fully understand the coding behind the registration system? 'Cos the concept of private messaging isn't that different; people submit data, you store it in the database (rather than having details on the person submitting the data, you have them fill in a to field, title field and message field), with a field to say whether it's been read or not, and then you have a bit of code to check whether someone's got any unread mail (SELECT * FROM `messages` WHERE `isRead` = '1').

If you don't understand it, perhaps it'd be better to just use a prebuilt CMS. Things are less likely to go wrong.

I figured it out myself before I found your message. :D I am still in the process of it all though. I thank you for your help:)
