PHP - Noob- To Edit Database Text

Hi I'm new to wordpress and PHP, I'm not a developer and I only understand HTML. All I've learnt so far about wordpress is from youtube, so apologies in advance for all the questions.  In the header where it says "Get Register", i want to change it to just say "Register".  I'm using firebug and Firefox browser to find the file, to edit the above request.  so far, its told me the text i need to edit, is in custom.css?ver=1  on line 329 I found the file custome.css, but how do i edit custom.css?ver=1 please?    

Hey everyone.

I'm making a php/mysql game and I don't understand how do to this.  please read the whole thing and dont just say use paypal.

thanks in advanced.

The game is free to play but if you want some extra perks like gold and what not I want to you be able to pay with real money to get them.

I dont have ANY idea how to do this....

Say there are three parts

100gold  1,000gold   10,000gold
$5                 $10           $20


Is this possible:
use paypal set up three different buttons/links for that then I know paypal asks if you wants to point them to a thankyou page so I would make the thankyou page have the PHP in it to update they database with the new gold values.

the problem I see is how will paypal save their member id or user id number so my script in the thankyou page will update the right account and also what is stopping people from just going straight to the thankyou page without paying?

Thanks for the info

Sir/ma'am,   With the script I'm using to run my website, I've been trying to add an additional feature for the users to add/edit. I'll try to provide as much info as I can, hopefully it'll help.   Here is the code I'm using to display the user's unique info from the db.

<a class="wallet-edit"><?php echo $_SESSION['simple_auth']['INFO']?></a>

That displays the user's info from the column 'INFO' perfectly. It's also a js popup to a menu to where I'm hoping to add a single textbox to edit the INFO.   The script uses a similar function to edit the password with a popup. I've tried modifying the code to edit the INFO column but it doesn't work. Here is the default code it has to edit the password. I'm not sure if it can be changed to edit another column or needs a new piece of code for that.

// user edit
 	$('body').on('click', '.username-edit', function() {

    	$('#modal').html(' ');

 		var output = '<div class="modal-content"><h5><?php echo lang::get("Change password")?></h5><hr />';
 		output += '<h5><?php echo lang::get("New password:")?></h5><input type="password" name="password" id="password" value="" class="text ui-widget-content ui-corner-all" />';
 		output += '<h5><?php echo lang::get("Confirm password:")?></h5><input type="password" name="password2" id="password2" value="" class="text ui-widget-content ui-corner-all" />';

 		output += '</div>';

 		output += '<div class="modal-buttons right">';
 		output += '<button id="confirm-button" type="button" class="nice radius button"><?php echo lang::get("Change")?></button>';
 		
		output += '</div>';
 		
 		output += '<a class="close-reveal-modal"></a>';
 		
 		$('#modal').append(output);
 		$('#second_modal').hide();
 		$('#modal').reveal();

 		$('#confirm-button').click(function(){

 			$('#password').css('border-color', '#CCCCCC');
 			$('#password2').css('border-color', '#CCCCCC');
 			
			var password = $('#password').val();
			var password2 = $('#password2').val();

			if(typeof(password) === 'undefined' || password == ''){
				$('#password').css('border-color', 'red');
				return false;
			}
			
			if(password != password2){
				$('#password2').css('border-color', 'red');
				return false;				
			}

			password_data = encodeURIComponent(password);
			
			$.post("<?php echo gatorconf::get('base_url')?>", { changepassword: password_data} ).done(function(data) {
				// flush 
				window.location.href = '<?php echo gatorconf::get('base_url')?>';
			});
			


	    });

    });

If the code above can be edited to work with what I'm trying to do, it of course only needs one textbox and doesn't have to be confirmed by a second input.       Please help! Thanks!

Hi,

I have a webpage that the super administrator log's into. Once the super administrator is logged in he/she can view his/her clients. The super admins clients also have their own clients, once the super admins clients login they can view their own clients details who register with them. What i am trying to do is have a link on that clients name (for the super admins clients) that will bring me to a new page where i can edit his/her details that is stored in the mysql database. I have used INPUT buttons for each clients row in a FORM which works......but i know this is not the right way to do it. This is the code i have used to display the clients with the input button:
<?php
$query = "SELECT ID FROM clients WHERE username = '$username'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if(mysql_num_rows($result))
{
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
$userID = $row['ID'];
$query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE userID = '$userID'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$num=mysql_numrows($result);
mysql_close();
?>
<table border="0" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3" width="100%">
<tr>
<th width="30%"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Name</font></th>
<th><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Username</font></th>
<th><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Email Address</font></th>
<th>&nbsp;</th>
</tr>
<?php
$i=0;
while ($i < $num) {
$userID=mysql_result($result,$i,"userID");
$name=mysql_result($result,$i,"name");
$username=mysql_result($result,$i,"username");
$email=mysql_result($result,$i,"email");

?>
<tr>
<td width="30%"><?php echo $name; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $username; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $email; ?></td>
<td><form action="http://localhost/single-client.php?userID=<?php echo $userID; ?>&name=<?php echo $name; ?>" method="post" style="margin:0px;">
<input type="hidden" name="selectuser" id="selectuser" value="<?php echo $userID; ?>" /><input type="hidden" name="username1" id="username1" value="<?php echo $username; ?>" /><input type="hidden" name="name1" id="name1" value="<?php echo $name; ?>" /><input type="submit" name="submit" value="View Info" class="button" /></form></td>
</tr>
<?php
$i++;
}}}
?>
</table>

From the above code when i use the following code:
?userID=<?php echo $userID; ?>&name=<?php echo $name; ?>
It doesn't make a difference .... it just displays the correct userID and name in the link.

Once the INPUT button is clicked it will bring you to this page:
<?php
$query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE userID = '".$_POST['selectuser']."' AND username = '".$_POST['username1']."'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if(mysql_num_rows($result))
{
$userID = $_POST['selectuser'];
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
$name = $row['name'];
$userID = $row['userID'];
$email = $row['email'];
$username = $row['username'];
$registered = $row['registered'];
$last = $row['last'];
?>
<?php echo $brokerID; ?>
<table border="0" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3" width="100%" summary="Client table">
<tr>
<td><form action="http://localhost/single-client.php?userID=<?php echo $userID; ?>&name=<?php echo $name; ?>" method="post" style="margin:0px;">

<td><form action="http://localhost/single-client.php?userID=<?php echo $userID; ?>&amp;name=<?php echo $name; ?>" method="post" style="margin:0px;">
<input type="hidden" name="selectuser" id="selectuser" value="<?php echo $userID; ?>" /><input type="hidden" name="username1" id="username1" value="<?php echo $username; ?>" /><input type="hidden" name="name1" id="name1" value="<?php echo $name; ?>" /><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Bills" class="button" /></form></td>
</tr>
</table>
<h2>Client Profile - <?php echo $_POST['name1']; ?></h2>
<table border="0" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3" width="100%">
<tr>
<th><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Name</font></th>
<th><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Username</font></th>
<th><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Email Address</font></th>
<th><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Registered</font></th>
<th><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Last</font></th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $name; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $username; ?></td>

<td><?php echo $last; ?></td>
</tr>
</table>
<?php
}
}
else
{
   echo "<p>Error</p>";
}
?>

This page displays the correct user info. Is there a way to do it differently instead of using FORMS and INPUT buttons? and rather using links? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
