Hi Gizmola, Ah yes.. That TOTALLY made sense. I see what you mean about it being public facing. I don't intend to make my system public facing, and other users will not be able to view others' URL. Thanks for your input!

Hi NotionCommotion, Thanks for your reply. Yeah, I would have a user.php file that renders dynamic content based on username. However, changing the url to www.mywebsite.com/userA seems to be the "usual" practice as seen in FB, Instagram, Twitter, etc. That's the reason for me trying to do that.

Hi all, I have some questions about creating a simple PHP user management system. I would like to create a website for users where they are able to a. Register an account b. Login and c. View information unique to them. 1. If my website is www.mywebsite.com, how do I create a different URL for different registered users upon login. For example, if User A logs in, he/she will see www.mywebsite.com/userA 2. If each user has access to unique data, how do I create the URLs to look like this - www.mywebsite.com/userA/example-page Appreciate any pointers. Thank you.

Hi iarp, Thanks for your clarification. Reference to your earlier example, where UPDATE UsersSessionTracker SET last_activity = NOW() WHERE users_id = <the users id> AND session_id = <session_id() from php> If session_id is different every time a user logs in, how will session_id match current session_id()? EDIT: Okay, I realized I missed a step. I am supposed to insert the session_id() where user logs in, and then update last_activity when a user hits a new page where session_id = session_id()

Hi iarp, Thanks for your help. I implemented TotalLogins and it works pretty well. For the second part, I am not very clear about the session_id variable/method. How do I get the session_id and assign it to a variable? To clarify - The session_id is assigned to a variable at the login page or at the user registration page?

Hi all, I already have a simple login script. However, I am trying to create a new feature that allows me to check the number of logins for a user, and the ability to filter by time periods and total time spent per session. How do I make sure of the SESSION class to do that? Is it possible to do this via pure PHP? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
