Thank you. That was exactly what I was looking for.

Hello, Is there a function to make a PHP file explicitly to be used as an include only? Or would it just be easier to set a variable in the parent page and test for it in the include page? I just wanted to make sure there wasn't a more efficient way than using the latter method. Thanks, Carson

Hi, I'm wondering what would be the most efficient way to go through, loop through the first three rows of a MySQL Table, then do something different on the fourth, fifth, sixth, and change back again on the seventh. I would like this pattern to continue until all the tables are used up. I would also like to make sure it can not only end on a number that is divisible by three, like fourteen. Thanks!

Would it be a game where you click a link and your points go up, and just have it with text? Or are you actually going to make something like a Flash game with animation, graphics, etc.?

Just thought I'd come in and introduce myself! I'm Carson, and for my knowledge of PHP, I understand the fundamentals, but I'm interested in learning a bit more. Thanks!

I apologize if this topic is in the wrong forum. I created a login class, but I don't believe it is as efficient as it could be. So, if a couple people could tell me if what I did was best or if there is a more efficient way to do it. I'm just including the login class, but if you need any more info, just ask and I'll see if I can get it for you. class login { var $db; var $username; var $u_id; var $input_password; var $md5_password; var $remember = FALSE; var $rem_days = 0; var $banned = FALSE; var $ban_time = 0; var $ban_reason; public function __construct($db, $username, $password, $remember, $rem_days) { $this->db = $db; $this->username = $username; $this->password = $password; $this->remember = $remember; $this->rem_days = $rem_days; } //.................. //PRIVATE FUNCTIONS //.................. private function get_uid() { $query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '".$this->username."'"; $result = $this->db->query($query); $row = $result->fetch_array(MYSQLI_ASSOC); $id = $row["id"]; $this->u_id = $id; return $id; } private function convert_pass() { $this->md5_password = md5($this->input_password); return $this->md5_passport; } //if the function returns 1, user is banned private function check_ban() { $query = "SELECT * from bans WHERE user_id = ".$this->convert_pass()." AND end_time < ".time()." ORDER BY 'end_time' DESC"; $result = $this->$db->query($query); if ($result->num_rows >= 1) { $this->banned = TRUE; $row = $result->fetch_array(MYSQLI_ASSOC); $this->banned = TRUE; $this->ban_time = $row["end_time"]; $this->ban_reason = $row["reason"]; return TRUE; } else { return FALSE; } } //.................. //PUBLIC FUNCTIONS //.................. public function check_login() { $this->convert_pass(); $this->get_uid(); $query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = '".$this->u_id."'

It looks like there are two accounts with the same username! Please send an email to an admin immediately to correct this problem."; return FALSE; } else { return FALSE; } } public function set_session() { session_start(); $_SESSION["username"] = $this->username; $_SESSION["u_id"] = $this->u_id; $_SESSION["unique"] = md5($this->md5_password); if($remember) { setcookie("remember", "", time()+(3600*24)*($this->rem_days)); } } public function fail_reason() { } //NOTE: WHEN LOGGING OUT, COOKIES MUST BE DELETED BEFORE ANY OUTPUT IS MADE (so, place before header.php or anything with an echo function) public function logout() { session_destroy; if($_COOKIE["rem"]) { setcookie("remember", "", time()-3600); } } }
