PHP - How To Find Out The Submit Links To The Social Media Sites?

I'm writing a mini social network and I'm having trouble figuring out how to deal with privacy settings.
I have established a range of privacy options (level 1-4): 1. Only Facebook friends can see profile (users connect via FB) 2. Only current classmates 3. Past + current classmates 4. All users in given group
I am writing a function to return a list of available users based on a given parameter (eg. Find all classmates of a user). Obviously I have to respect users privacy settings, so I thought to query against all users with level 2 permissions, however I realise that I may miss out some classmates who are FB friends but have permission levels set to 1.

Secondly, I'm looking to find out the relationship between two users (a function that I can plug in 2 user IDs and return their relationship...classmates, FB friends, past classmates, no relationship) which I can then use to determine whether a user has permission to view another users profile.

I don't have much code as of yet, because I spent a long time exploring one avenue which I now realise to be the wrong one!

Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everone i am currently building a social network website, i have it mostly finished but one thing i am trying to do is instead of my members having the profile name of www.domain.com/ members.php?username=04836flfgkfifg84 for example,

i want it to be like twitter or facebook where it is like www.facebook.com/Brendan

Can someone help me out on doing this?

 So I would like it as a custom script or as a wordpress plugin.

The features a


I would like to build a social network.
The main to features I’m interested in:
1. Member can join only by invitation. The person that invites another person must write a review about the invited person, add a photo, what he does, share the name and contact: email, phone, city, connected to ( until here all these is mandatory in order for the person to join the network ) and website link ( optional ).
Only then the person that is invited will receive an email with a link from where to register his account. ( this only for members that will have the right to invite others. For the other type only the admin has the right to make it from just a member, a member with invitation rights. In this case the member will receive an email with a link registration ).
The review of a member can be edited only the member who introduced that person in the network ( and the admin ). In case of any edit there will be a notification for the admin with the original version and the new version. The admin of the site has to allow the modification in order for the review to change.
2. The person that is already in the network can invite a number of … ( this will be fixed and determined by the admin. However the admin can raise the number of invitation for a particular member at his will ). This applies for the 2 types of invitations.
There will be 2 types of invitations: to join the network and have the right to invite others OR only member ( no right to invite others ).
When a person registers to the network, the one who invited him will have one less invitation for the type of member he introduced ( member with invitation rights or member ).
If a member wants to invite more people than his invitation are, then it can purchase invitations ( both types ) for different prices ( example: 1 invitations 10$, 2 invitations – 40$ - value determined by the admin ). So a payment integration is needed ( Paypal ).
The exception for all this: if a visitor wants to join the network without any invitation he can only pay his way in. However this option will be displayed on the public pages. After payment confirmation the visitor can be redirected to the register page. Admin will make the account active. A sign “paying member” will be shown on this member profile page.

After a member is registered and logs in to his account will have the right to:
- Add more photos
- Add more website links
- Add more details at his contact information
- Change his unique number.
- Have the option to add members ( both types )
- Add updates to his wall.
- Search and contact other members via email.
So once you log in to the account there is no restriction ( within the network ) or no difference from what you can do on other social sites.

Search:
First the search will be done in the reviews and after that on the post that members made.
The search results will be displayed in the same order ( the words from the reviews will have priority and after that will be displayed the content from posts – that will be arranged in chronologic order – last one will be the first ).
But a member can filter those results – review only or posts only.
Sponsored bids will be displayed first.

The handshake section:
Here you will be notified if one of your “looking for” or “offering” announces has expired. When expired the announcement can’t be find on searches or on your profile page.
The notification will be active for 7 days. By active I mean: if you click the notification it will take you to the announcement and there you will have an option – make active ( so that other can find the announcement in their searches or in your profile ) another 30 days.

The Admin section:
The site will be default “no robots” ( not indexed by search engines ). However an option should be in the admin to switch from off “no robots”. This option will apply only for the internal part – profile pages. The pages and link on the first page ( what is public ) can be indexed by search engines.
A simple editor from where you can create pages ( something like the section pages in Wordpress ). Any page you create will appear on the first page.
After a period of time a member with invitation rights will receive invitation. Example: after one year you will have an extra one invitation for both types of member. What is needed in the admin: a section from where you can modify this time ( time should be in months and the admin will enter the number – example if he puts 1 – that means after 1 month will receive invitation. There should be 2 sections: one time for members that can invite, and one for members only ).
A section where you can limit the number of entries for “looking for” and “offering”
The section from where you can edit the html code.
An option to send newsletters.
You will receive and email if another person contacted you via internal email section.
Option to delete members.
 

I am creating a simple social network, and i want the post visible only on its circle of friends but the problem is...

    `uid` INT(11) AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
    `uname` VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL,
    `pword` CHAR(60) NOT NULL,
    `fullname` VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
    INDEX(`uname`)
) Engine = InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

    ON UPDATE CASCADE
    ON DELETE CASCADE
) Engine = InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

public function viewFriendIfExistOnTbl($uid)
    {
        $query = $this->mysqli->query("SELECT `friend_id` FROM `friend` WHERE `my_id` = '$uid' LIMIT 1");
        if ($query->num_rows > 0) {
            return true;
        }

Hi Guys

Cool

I have social networking application. I am trying to query a database to get the ids of all the users friends.  With the ids of all the users friends I am then trying to  query a second database with  the status feed  that contains all users status data.

 

I would like to echo the users friends status data only from the second database

 

code is below hope you can help.

 

Thank you.

$findperson=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM friends WHERE sessid='$id'");

$findfriend=mysql_num_rows($findperson);

 

//Count if the person has any friends. If they have friends get the ids of all their friends
if($findfriend>0)

while($rati=mysql_fetch_assoc($findperson))

Hey, everyone.

My name is Matthew and I have a new project I would like developing.

It is a social network site based on Twitter where you can upload content and follow other users.

I am looking for someone experienced in developing who will be able to start this from the beginning.

The project should take around 1-2 months to be up and running fully.

If you are interested please send me
a) Your Portfolio
b) Your Location
c) Your Price per hour ($)

to boyle.matthew(@)gmail.com and hopefully we can talk further.


Thanks, Matthew

Not sure where to start, and it may not be entirely PHP.

I am helping a friend with a small social network (5,000 users). They want to add a feature where each user gets given their own email account in the format username@domain.com with domain.com being the domain of the social network.

Is this too much? I've never thought of anything like this before.

How would we create the email accounts? Can PHP do it? Would it be an API through the web host / email space provider?

I'm attempting to implement a simple social networking system but at the moment am confused about how to create a multiple query which will display a certain user's friends list.

The database contains four tables, the two tables that I'm using at the moment at 'usersTable' and 'friendshipsTable' are detailed below.


usersTable           | Table that stores all the user data

UserID         | Default primary key
Forename              |
Surname         |
Username           |
Password              |
Email Address      |


friendshipTable   | Table that stores information about friendships between users

FriendshipID      |  Default primary key
userID_1                |  UserID
userID_2         |  UserID
Status         |  Either Pending or Confirmed.

The user's id is parsed into the url, and then saved into a variable.

blah.com/userprofile.php?id=6

$id = $_GET['id']; 

I am familiar with creating simple queries, but can't quite work out how to set up multiple table queries.

What the query needs to do is to check the userID that is parsed with the url, and then check the friendshipsTable by checking if either the userID_1 or userID_2 field  matches the userID to grab the records from the table where there is a match.

The next step is to check to see if the friendship is 'Confirmed' or 'Pending' and if it is 'Pending' to ignore it. Once the records have then been chosen I need the query to then check the value in either userID_1 or userID_2 that doesn't match userID and then pull the user's username and name from the usersTable so it can be displayed on a webpage.

I've no idea hoe much I may or may not be overcomplicating this, an example of the code that I've got so far for this query can be found below, but that's as far as I've got at the moment.

$displayFriends = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM friendshipTable, usersTable WHERE friendshipTable.userID_1='$id' OR friendshipTable.userID_2='$id' ");

Cheers for any help.

My employer asked if I could change an existing contact form on their website to allow clients to enter their Social Security Number along with the normal contact information if the client decide to do so, instead of going through the motion of physically send in the form via snail mail, fax, or in person (like it is currently handled).
But since this piece of information is of such delicate nature, I wonder how I should approach this from both a legal standpoint and from a programming standpoint.
The form currently sends the information entered by the user to an inbox with mail(), so my initial thought was to somehow encrypt the information, limiting the risk of someone getting a hold of this information once the use user clicks "Send". But is full blown SSL really necessary for this? Are there easier options? And what should I think about before enabling this?

Hi

I am trying to create a site that determines the device's screen size. Most mobile phone browsers does not have javascript, so to determine the width and height of the screen I cannot use Javascript. Does anyone know how i can test whether a mobile phone is used to visit the site and what that phone's screen resolution is, so that I can redirect it to the right folder.

Thanks in advance

Hi, i webmaster multi sites and at the moment run php code to block unwanted ip addresses because of bad submittings.   I am running this code at the moment <?php

Hi guys and gals, i have two sites which interact with each other, if someone lands on my local site and searches, if the answer isnt found it will transfer them to my other site which has a wider range for what they are looking for.

My question is, how would i go about delaying the transfer and displaying a message that the user is now being transfered to a different site?

I was thinking something similar to one of those uploading please wait type overlays or somthing?

Any ideas would be useful, at the moment its done with a simple form and php, but is instant.
