ok i am working on a new members thing on my page and i want users to be able to upload an image to my site and the directory be stored in the database so i can do something like this <img src='$image'> Now How Would I Do This So It Uploads It and Then Pulls It From The Databse To Be Displayed?

Thanks, Michelle [/quote] You Can Also try [code] <?php $username=$_POST['username']; $firstname=$_POST['firstname']; //then have an hidden input here plus the rest of your form echo "<form action='continue.php' method='POST'> <input type='hidden' name='username' value='$username'> <input type='hidden' name='firstname value='$firstname'> //etc then your form below: Please Select A Payment Method: <input type='radio' name='paypal' value='paypal'>Paypal //other payments etc ?> [/code] Then just keep the [code]$username=$_POST['username']; $firstname=$_POST['firstname']; [/code] along with the hidden inputs on each page. doing so keeps the information going on and on through each page This Worked For Me At Least

I use POST as the method. Now I want to have the ability for the user to edit their information. So the issues is that all the fields values are equal to: <? echo $_POST['field_name'] ?> but I need the fields to be populated with the values stored in the mysql database. So I change the value to <? echo $row['field_value'] ?> which works, with one problem. If they screw up a field or don't enter a required field the page reloads and displays an error message, but all the fields get populated with the values from the database instead of the values which they just updated, i.e. the $_POST['field_name']. See because the values are set to $row['field_name']. Basically I need to have all the values first populate from the database and then after that, they need to populate from $_POST['field_name']. I think. I may be way off here. Thanks for the help.

[a href=\"http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/40/3.php\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/40/3.php[/a] thereis something similar it talks about members area's but it generates a random password in md5 and sends a link for user to activate their membership. you can manipulate the code to ur needs

this post is closed problem not resolved

i am needing to know how or if you can have a button that when selected goes to a specified url and refresh's the frames page reason being that i have a members area and i want it to tell the user when they first enter the site if they are logged in in the header (top frame page) and when they click log in and it is successful log in it refresh's the frame page or even just the header to tell them their logged in along with certain options. and then when they log out it will refresh the page saying that they are logged out. i already have the header set up to display this info but it only display's if manually refreshed. if there is a way to do this please let me know. thanks

if this will help here is the link to my site [a href=\"http://www.longslongproductions.com\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.longslongproductions.com[/a] don't mind the name as it is only a comedy site

But I Am Wanting It To Display A Certain Part Of That Table i.e users: i then have all registered users. if i use that code in that article it will diplay all of the registered users. i am wanting it to display only the data stored from when the user originally registered. or what they update etc.

i have a simple login script where registered members go to the members area. what i want to do is to have it retrieve data pertaining to that member on one page and then have an edit button to where they can edit the information and then it be updated in the database. Here are my questions. how would i have it recieve that data for that certain user? and how can i make it to where it updates the information when they edit? my database pertains of one table. this table contains: user id (not editable) username (not editable) password (editable as long as original password verified) datejoined (not editable) email (editable) first name (editable) last name (editable) I will be adding more to the table when time comes but right now this is what i am working with.

I am a complete newbie to php. i have been working on learning for about the past 2 weeks and i am wanting to learn how to make mysql databases to have data stored. I run a hosting compony has a home business and when clients come in to make a purchase i want it to be where they start their purchase and then have to register a username and password etc. and i want to give them the availability to see what they have purchased in their control panel area etc. but i do not know how to make the databases and how to send information to them. Currently i have one hosting website. it runs off of pure html coding. i just recently purchased another domain and am wanting to make that one with the php. If some one could please guide me in the right direction to find help on this or give me an exmple with a basic explanation it would be greatly apreciated. Mike
