PHP - Create New Page Option For User

Hi, i coded a very simple forum "website" with registration, login, and a place where everyone posts comments.  I wanted to make some sort of profile page for each user so they would each have their own URL too (e.i. test/barney or test/simpsons).  each of these pages would have different content, depending on what barney or simpsons puts on that page.

i've been looking everywhere trying to find documentation but i don't think i know how to search it correctly. I checked a lot of mod_rewrite documentation but i don't understand if i'm suppose to call a php function to create a profile page or something.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated

Thanks!

How would I go about creating a new user email account that can be accessed via my cpanel mail scripts (RoundCube, SquirrelMail, etc.), in PHP.

Hi,

I've always used PHP code in my websites in a procedural manner as I come from a html/css background. Now that I want to do projects with more complexity I'm thinking I need to approach development in a more Object Oriented fashion.

My question is more a theoretical one. I'm creating a User class and I'm not sure on what is the best practise for putting my functions etc. and where to call them.

My project will have 2 different users (Admin & End User) so is it correct to say that the User class should encapsulate all the functions of both of these users ? By that I mean create/delete/modify user, login & change password/forgotten password functionality rather than having a seperate Login class

Should I only call the database functions within these methods of the user class as opposed to calling them on the php page where the form data is posted ?

For example, if a user logins in and when the form data is posted I currently open a connection, validate data, run the query.
In an OO approach would I have just one User class method thats relevant to a particular page functionality ?
Say, in pseudo code, for handling a login request

loginRequest.php
Code: [Select]
include User class

try {
create new user User();
User::login();
}
catch Exception()



and should my User class look something like this

class.User.php
Code: [Select]
include DBase class

class User {
 var name,
 var email,
 var password,

function validateInput (email, password) {
     if (!valid input)
         throw Exception
    else
       return true
}

function login (email, password){
    try {
       database connection
       validateInput();
       sql to see if user exists and login
       
   }
   catch Exception
}

}

Apologies for this being a bit long winded!

thanks

Hello, I'm embarking on a pretty ambitious task and I need some bits of information here and there. One of the functions I need to achieve is to build a query or array of photos based on a background image and user input.    So imagine that I have a box  and within that box is a column of three rows.    I need to have three different bits of data be placed into each of the subsequent rows and then an image is taken of these three pieces of data overlaying the background photo. Then stored somewhere with an incremented identifier to be pulled later.    I think I can already begin to imagine how it would work but what eludes me is a "screenshot" function to generate the images. I'm looking for .png or .jpg end result files with fixed width/height and item placement.    Thank you for any help

I am looking to add Spanish to a website and would like the users to be able to click a button to switch between english and Spanish.  Is this something that php would be good for or should I look into another language?  Would there be a benefit to doing this on the client side versus the server, hence the use of javascript versus php?

I would appreciate any help in this area; samples, websites, and such.  I am looking to learn, and not for someone to do all the work for me.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,

I wanted to make a dynamic php page. I want the user to choose an option you could select in an option box (html) and after that I wish that down the page some text would change. If I take option 1 -> text 1, option 2 -> text 2, ...
But this doesn't work, do I need a button or something to made my code running, and how do I have to use it on the same page?
Or is it possible to run it automaticly after a new choice?

Thanx, Kevin

Hi,   I am looking for a tutorial or code sample I can use to learn MySQLi pagination with an option to select items per page, like the attached screenshort.   Any help is grately appreciated.   Regards.   joseph Attached Files  table-pagination.jpg   32.87KB   0 downloads

Hi Guys,

Quick question.

I'm trying to get my head around how I would check that a user has reached a certain page from another page.

So for example, the workflow through my site is something like the following:

user registers a verification email is sent user clicks the link within the verification email to complete the sign up process user logs in and ONLY on a successful login will the following happen: checks are made to see if account has been verified if user has been verified, go to main menu if user has not been activated his account then he goes to a page that says account has not been activated
The bit i'm struggling to get my head around is this...

the user should only reach the page 'account has not been activated' page from the login page. If that page was called confirm-account.php. What can i do to stop a random person typing something along the lines of www.mywebsite.com/confirm-account.php and getting straight onto that page? or even upon the registration process if the user is taken to a page that says an email has been sent, how would i stop a random person just typing the url straight to that page and bypassing the pages I would expect them to have gone through before reaching that??

 

Cheers

I have a some value that are being generated from a database then thrown into <li><href> to create a list that user can click and fetch data through ajax

right now its in a form select/menu and works fine however I need to convert to a list and use and onKeyDown event

Code: [Select]
<form>
<select name="users" size="<?php echo $num_rows;?>" onchange="showUser(this.value)"  >
  <?php
do {  
?>
  <option value="<?php echo $row_Recordset1['item_id']?>"><?php echo $row_Recordset1['item_id'].' '. $row_Recordset1['item_name']?></option>
  <?php
} while ($row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1));
  $rows = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);
  if($rows > 0) {
      mysql_data_seek($Recordset1, 0);
  $row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);
  }
?>
</select>
</form>


I need to correct this Code: [Select]
<ol>
  <?php  do { ?>
 
  <li onKeyDown="showUser(this.value)"><a href="getmenu.php?item_id="<?php echo $row_Recordset1['item_id']?>"> <?php echo $row_Recordset1['item_name']?></a></li>
 
<?php
  } while ($row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1));
   $rows = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);
   if($rows > 0) {
mysql_data_seek($Recordset1, 0);
 $row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);
  }
?>
</ol>

i don't know what this would fall under, but it sounds like php..........is there a way to make a form make a new page from a template........like I have a picture page and I can upload pictures from a form with a picture name....and that name turns into a /name.php file?  does this make sense?

please can you help me in this question , imt confused about it   Create a dice page, that allow the user to enter an integer (from1 to 6) and the program must generate a random number (from1 to 6). if the random number equals the users’ entered number an image with smiley facemust be displayed if not another image with sad face must be displayed. Also,you have to display the integer user entered and the program generated integer in the page.

First of all i create the page to copy the buttons as pixels to paste into a design, it's not for a working webpage.

It goes wrong here,
<option value="0">Day</option>
   <?= for(var i=0; i<31; i++){?>
   <option value="<?=i?>"><?=i?></option>
   <?= } ?>
</select>

I'm using a popular PHP script for my web site, which uses main_1.htm for the header and footer, and inner_index.htm for the main part of the home page. Also, of course it has index.php.

How can I set up a duplicates of these files to work on and test changes to the home page, before I actually deploy the changes on to my live site's home page?

Thanks
