    my users will be able to login and perform certain things such as enter in information through forms, but i want to either carry their username through the URL or store it in a session somehow so when i go to display what the user entered in the form i can display the username next to the result. whats the best way to carry this small piece of data? thanks

    well now it says the file choosedatetime.inc can't be found in my directory....i put it in the same folder as the other file and it pulled up and displayed everything else except the part of the form that is in choosedatetime.inc...what in the world...
  10. dadamssg
    i got an enexpected T_string error on line 10 in my choosedatetime.inc file....i noticed that i used double quotes when i echoed the html so i changed that...but i don't know what to do with line 10. And do i need cut out the <HTML><BODY> tags if this file will go into the other file that already has the <HTML><BODY> tags too? thanks
  11. dadamssg
    yeah, heres the part where im calling it...everything works and displays fine..except this...it just puts 'choosedatetime.inc;' in my table cell echo "<tr> <td style='text-align: center; font-weight: bold'> Date & Time</td> <td>choosedatetime(); </td> </tr>";

    Hi, ok...so my user will fill out a form that will then be put in a calender my users will see. I want the submission of the form also to make that event a new page in my site, where users can comment on it. kind of like whenever you create a user account on a website, you have your own account page. How the heck do i do that? thanks in advance

    Im pretty sure theres someway that mysql can add a ID number to a row everytime one is created. How do that? and i will be deleting and adding rows of data and i want each row to still have that unique ID number. Like if mysql has something where it numbers every data row, i don't want all the numbers to move down one if i delete a row, i want them to remain that same ID number...thanks in advance

    wow, im an idiot. thanks!

    right...but im concerned with what to set the MySQL data type to...as in CHAR (), VARCHAR(), etc. theres a problem with both of those because the max input can only be 255 characters. how do i make it to where i can store any amount of text?
  17. dadamssg
    Im trying to create a type of forum application. I want the user to fill out a form and one part of the form is the description. I want to store and use it exactly like this forum is using my post. How do i store a large amount of text if the character limit in the sql database is only 255? any suggestions would be much appreciated

    hi, Im creating a form where the user can enter in a date and time...say they want to enter Jan 3 2009 6:00 am. Keeping the php side of the form in mind and making it simple for the user to choose, i want to store their input in my database as datetime. Any suggestions on how i could do this in the form which wouldn't require a lot of manipulating variables to enter in the mysql database in the correct format for datetime to understand? ive thought about just creating a text field, but then drop down menus could make it easier but prolly more difficult to get in the right format. thanks

    Hi im trying to set up a login application. im going through a PHP and MySQL for Dummies book and i've copied everything down but i can't seem to get the password to work. Whenever i try to make an account the password i put into the application is encoded in my database and when i try to use the password i assigned the user it won't work, it also won't work for the coded password it gives me in my database. I had the password set to CHAR (30)...didn't work. tried setting it to VARCHAR (10)...didn't work. i attached the password section of the code. THANKS ahead of time [attachment deleted by admin]

    Where do i even BEGIN to start learning? Every "beginners tutorial" for coding seems far above my head
  23. dadamssg
    thanks for the help, its much appreciated...im obvioulsy new at this stuff. I just have an idea and am tryin to run with it. Tryin to figure out the easiest way to do certain things. I don't know how to use dreamweaver and all 'code' is a foreign language to me. I think i can learn dreamweaver fairly quickly. But I feel like i should hire people to do what i want because i don't think i can accomplish everything i want by myself...learning all the code. but at the same time, i don't want to have my idea taken. Any strategy suggestions?

    is there anyway you can break a phpBB forum up into different pages? For instance, have a page dedicated to one topic and have only have "Normal category 1" in that page. have a page dedicated to somethin else and have "normal category 2" there..etc.. anybody have any clue how to do that?
  25. dadamssg
