Setting up forum from scratch

Hi all,

I want to set up a forum on my website but I don't want to subscribe/use any forum supports that are provided by my web host. I wrote my own php script to manage forum (handling posts, replies, updates post, managing databases etc) but it is not perfect and lack of many functions like many famous web-sites forums have. Do you guys know where can I find php source code regarding on handling a forum? (articles, howtos, tutorials or whatever).
I'm still newbie to this php and web programming and need your help.
Thanks for your help.
