other piece that I want to do is also make sure that the new and confirm passwords match. how do I do that? <?php // Process the form if it is submitted $password1 = $_POST['password']; $password2 = $_POST['new']; $password3 = $_POST['password']; $password123 = md5($password1); if (isset($_POST['passbut'])) { if ($password123 == $password) { $password12 = $_POST['password']; $sql = mysql_query("UPDATE sessions SET password='$password12' WHERE id='$userid1'")or die(mysql_error()); $message ='Your Account info has been saved'; echo "<font color = 'red'>"; echo $message; echo "</font>"; }else{ echo '<font color="red">'; echo "passwords do not match"; echo '</font>'; } } // close if post ?> <hr /> <font size="2px" color="#666666">Your Password</font><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> </div> <div class="CollapsiblePanelContent"><form action="settings.php" method="post"><table width="371" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="109" height="29" scope="col">Old Password:</td> <td width="242" scope="col"><label for="password"></label> <div align="left"> <input name="password" type="text" id="password" /> </div></td> </tr> <tr> <td>New Password:</td> <td><label for="new"></label> <div align="left"> <input type="text" name="new" id="new" /> </div> <label for="security"></label></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Confirm Password:</td> <td><label for="confirm"></label> <div align="left"> <input type="text" name="confirm" id="confirm" /> </div> <label for="answer"></label></td> </tr></table><input name="passbut" type="submit" class="fullname" value="Save Password" id="passbut"/> <br /> <br /> </form>

ok, so I have this so far and I want it to echo password does not match if password123 does not equal password. and if it does match the sql query will run. do i put the else statement after the sql or before it. could you tell me where to start it........like put a comment that shows where? <?php // Process the form if it is submitted $password1 = $_POST['password']; $password123 = md5($password1); if ($_POST['passbut']) { if ($password123 == $password) { $password12 = $_POST['password']; $sql = mysql_query("UPDATE sessions SET password='$password12' WHERE id='$userid1'")or die(mysql_error()); $message ='Your Account info has been saved'; echo "<font color = 'red'>"; echo $message; echo "</font>"; }} // close if post ?>

its working nw......apparently i needed to refresh the page after submitting the form.

well i had it as psot and i changed that and it still doesn't post.

it also going to this address when i try to post /settings1.php?first=A+&middle3=M&last=S&fullname=Save+Changes

I had that at first, didn't work, then i took it out and forgot to add it again

this is entire code for page so you can see that I connect to database and such: <?php session_start(); // Must start session first thing /* Created By Adam Khoury @ www.flashbuilding.com -----------------------June 20, 2008----------------------- */ // Here we run a login check if (!isset($_SESSION['username'])) { echo 'Please <a href="/login.php">log in</a> to access your account'; exit(); } //Connect to the database through our include include_once "connect_to_mysql_1.php"; // Place Session variable 'id' into local variable $username1 = $_SESSION['username']; ?> <?php // Query member data from the database and ready it for display $sql = mysql_query("SELECT first, middle, last, username, email, question, answer, password FROM sessions WHERE username='$username1'"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){ $userid = $row["userid"]; $first = $row["first"]; $middle = $row["middle"]; $last = $row["last"]; $username = $row["username"]; $email = $row["email"]; $question = $row["question"];

For a selector such as '.foo.bar.baz', IE6 ignores * all but the final classname (here, '.baz'), and sets the specificity accordingly, counting just one of those classs as significant. To get around this * problem, we use the plugin in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js to generate compound classnames for IE6, such as 'MenuItemWithSubMenuHover'. * Since there are a lot of these needed, the plugin does not generate the extra classes for modern browsers, and we use the CSS2 style mutltiple class * syntax for that. Since IE6 both applies rules where * it should not, and gets the specificity wrong too, we have to order rules carefully, so the rule misapplied in IE6 can be overridden. * So, we put the multiple class rule first. IE6 will mistakenly apply this rule. We follow this with the single-class rule that it would * mistakenly override, making sure the misinterpreted IE6 specificity is the same as the single-class selector, so the latter wins. * We then create a copy of the multiple class rule, adding a '.SpryIsIE6' class as context, and making sure the specificity for * the selector is high enough to beat the single-class rule in the "both classes match" case. We place the IE6 rule at the end of the * css style block to make it easy to delete if you want to drop IE6 support. * If you decide you do not need IE6 support, you can get rid of these, as well as the inclusion of the SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js script. * The 'SpryIsIE6' class is placed on the HTML element by the script in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js if the browser is Internet Explorer 6.

none of those helped the problem . nothing had happened when I did any of those.

I didn't even think about that thanks!!!!!

I would like the whole page to scroll.....not just the one DIV

ok, so I have this facebook like wall on a webpage and I am having trouble with the page extending when posts on the wall are past the bottom of the screen. the posts just go off screen, no scroll bar or anything. here is code, let me know if this isnt the right code <?php session_start(); // Must be already set $username1 = $_SESSION['username']; include_once "connect_to_mysql_1.php"; ?><?php if ($_POST['logout']) { $sql = mysql_query("UPDATE sessions SET loggedin='0' where username='$username1'")or die(mysql_error()); echo "hello '$username1'"; unset($_SESSION['username']); } ?> <?php if(isset($_SESSION['username'])) { $query = "SELECT username, loggedin, name FROM sessions order by loggedin desc"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error : ' . mysql_error()); // create the article list while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) { list($username, $loggedin, $name) = $row; if ($loggedin == 1){ $as .= "<p><image src='ONLINE.png'></a><a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" onClick=\"javascript:chatWith('$username')\">$name</a> </p>\r\n";

MenuBarFixedCentered - - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedCentered', and centered in its parent container. MenuBarFullwidth - Grows to fill its parent container width.

For a selector such as '.foo.bar.baz', IE6 ignores * all but the final classname (here, '.baz'), and sets the specificity accordingly, counting just one of those classs as significant. To get around this * problem, we use the plugin in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js to generate compound classnames for IE6, such as 'MenuItemWithSubMenuHover'. * Since there are a lot of these needed, the plugin does not generate the extra classes for modern browsers, and we use the CSS2 style mutltiple class * syntax for that. Since IE6 both applies rules where * it should not, and gets the specificity wrong too, we have to order rules carefully, so the rule misapplied in IE6 can be overridden. * So, we put the multiple class rule first. IE6 will mistakenly apply this rule. We follow this with the single-class rule that it would * mistakenly override, making sure the misinterpreted IE6 specificity is the same as the single-class selector, so the latter wins. * We then create a copy of the multiple class rule, adding a '.SpryIsIE6' class as context, and making sure the specificity for * the selector is high enough to beat the single-class rule in the "both classes match" case. We place the IE6 rule at the end of the * css style block to make it easy to delete if you want to drop IE6 support. * If you decide you do not need IE6 support, you can get rid of these, as well as the inclusion of the SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js script. * The 'SpryIsIE6' class is placed on the HTML element by the script in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js if the browser is Internet Explorer 6.

I did follow the tutorial, but there is php and ajax both in there and I don't want to use all of the code, only what is relevant to what I need............like I said, i am not good at reading code and seeing what works together........I have to make it to know what it does.

could you two stop arguing and help me figure out which piece of code that mjdamato gave me is what I need?

i didn't know exactly where it is in the link that I need to use............I good at making some php......not reading it and other languages.

sorry, I didn't notice you posted the manual. haha sorry

can logouts delete cookies? and i save it in database.

is there any other way to store login data besides for sessions.......needs to be usable with chat.........I have a chat app set up but when the session ends.....it doesn't know who sent the message...............no I don't have acces to the file to change timeout time. any help with this?

so basically what I want is like gmails chat status.........when they logoff different icon from logged on? i don't know whether this is database or what.......but does anyone know how o do this with a database or something else?

Ok so could u give me a sample from job? My webhist has em but i don't know how to use them.

yes so basically I want a div or something to refresh when a database is updated by someone else.......this is for a chat so as soon as the user logs out it will show them as offline.

is there a way with php or jquery to pull info from a database as soon as it is updated? make sense?

so I have decided to do it this way: <?php session_start(); // Must be already set $username1 = $_SESSION['username']; include_once "connect_to_mysql_1.php"; ?><?php if ($_POST['logout']) { $sql = mysql_query("UPDATE sessions SET loggedin='0' where username='$username'")or die(mysql_error()); echo "hello '$username'"; } ?> <?php if(isset($_SESSION['username'])) { $query = "SELECT username, loggedin, name FROM sessions order by loggedin desc"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error : ' . mysql_error()); // create the article list while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) { list($username, $loggedin, $name) = $row; if ($loggedin == 1){ $as .= "<p><a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" onClick=\"javascript:chatWith('$username')\">$name</a> </p>\r\n"; }else if ($loggedin == 0){ $as .= "<p><a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" onClick=\"javascript:chatWith('$username')\">$name</a> </p>\r\n"; }}} ?> only problem is I need to know how to make it so that the current session........my username lets say.....wont show to beable to chat with.....so you cant chat with yourself haha. make sense?

what would I do to make it so that it doesn't completely log them out....but instead it just puts them "asleep" and they just need to click to come online again? also could I get some sample jquery or whatever language..........jquery I am horrible at.

so I want to make a database that basically updates a row called login to 1 when the user is logged in and 0 when off. I am making a chat like thing and the cade will be like .........if $loggedin=0........it will show the user is offline.....if 1 it will show is online........the problem I am running into is like making it so that the user is logged off after lets say 1000 secs of inactivity.....otherwise it will say they are always logged in. is this a good way to do this? or is there a better way? I hope this makes sense.
