MasterACE14 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 you can google "PHP User Management", or something a long those lines... thats for the login/logout etc... what sought of database are you going to use for this? MySQL? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/129514-solved-user-login-editing-content/#findComment-671490 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterACE14 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 ok, I suggest reading through the book before attempting to make your User Management System and the details editting. You should also have a read through the quick PHP tutorial online on Tizag Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/129514-solved-user-login-editing-content/#findComment-671517 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eMonk Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 i understand, i would just like to read over what needs to be done to get this first project of mine to work & be a success. i'm not looking for anything too advanced... a simple user/pass login system for users to edit their personal info & later down the road to add/remove thumb pics. i would also like to fetch this info from a mysql database from their html page. any info how to do this would be lots of help.

trq Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Read your book! Sheesh. Books are designed in such a way that you will progressively understand more as you read further into it. Don't bother skimming. You didn't learn to run before you could walk did you? Of course not, your face would be broken. And so it is with programming.

d_barszczak Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I hate to say this but they are right. Unless you understand how it works you will only have the chapter that tells you how to create basic authentication. You also find it difficult to add new features at a later date. The book that i originally started with was call PHP & MySQL for Dummies. That gave me an excellent start and now i can create practically anything. This forum has also been a great help over the years.
