I, know its a bit messy but lets me see it and design it in Dreamweaver

Any way, for the comment system for users, I want it to show their avatar as well, which is stored in the users table. How would one do this.

I did think of it submitting the avatar along with the post but then it wouldnt update if the user would to change their avatars :\

Any helps???

I'm showcasing user avatars and nicknames on the page, the mistake I did was I used session variables for that which are being set after login, now obviously those will be deleted as soon as the session is over.

So I thought of inserting the values into scalar variables instead of session variables. The problem I'm encountering is, how to make those variables available at the necessary spots on other pages?

Let's say I fetch data off the database after login inside login.php and I put the data into scalar variables, what would be common practice to make those scalar variables accessible in index.php?

Is this solution a good solution at all to make the avatar and nickname of the user permanent visible?

What would be common practice?

Hi Guys

Hi i would like a simple chat page on my site for my members. i already have a site login database and want to know how i can let people chat and have their names entered with thier message without them having to login in to something else or typing their name with each message, for example - tom says: hello

I bought script for live chat support but i want something more. Now you can login with admin role and operator role, but what i want is to  add user role so when user login in app he can see online operators and chat with them. It is open source so there is no legal issue.. So if anyone wants to help me i will send script on your email and try to solve this.. Thanks,Ivan

Hi,

I'm trying to make an area where people can post stuff, status updates etc... I have a small layout done, but something has confused me.

I'm trying to get it so when somebody is logged in, and posts something in the chat area, it displays:
[Name]
[Comment]

I know how to read from the database, but for some reason, when I press the 'submit' button, the text in the 'comment' box isn't inserting into my 'comment' column in my database... But I want it so it inserts in the users column. Is this possible?

Code: [Select]
<?php

if($submit)
{
$comment = $_POST['comment'];
$submit = $_POST['submit'];

$connect = mysql_connect("****","****","****") or die("Could not connect to database.");
mysql_select_db("****") or die ("Could not find database!");

$query("INSERT INTO login ('comment') VALUES('$comment')");
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
}

?>
