when a user registers how to i add values to another table?

berry05 · December 11, 2008

when a user registers all the data goes to a table called users...i also have a table called user_stats which has two fields called username and gold...

username is there so when people register there username automatically goes to that field and there gold is 0....but how do i do such a thing?

berry05 · December 11, 2008

anyone? i have a registration page but it has another php file included called sessions.php

my registration script sues sessions..

trq · December 11, 2008

Execute another query.

berry05 · December 11, 2008

something like this..

<?php

mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("textgame") or die(mysql_error());

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM user_stats")
or die(mysql_error());  

$row = mysql_fetch_array( $result );


?>

or.. something like this...

 $q = "INSERT INTO user_stats (gold) VALUES ('100')";
$q:

trq · December 11, 2008

Well a SELECT query isn't really going to help you is it?

berry05 · December 11, 2008

true...i tried the bottom code that i posted and its not working...either that or i put it somewhere wrong...i put it in sessions.php right...

sessions.php..

You might want to narrow your code down to whats relevent.

berry05 · December 11, 2008

i was wondering if you could tell me though where i should put the query code inside of the sessions.php? ???

trq · December 11, 2008

I don't see why it would have anything to do with sessions at all, don't you want to give user 100 gold when they register?

Your query would need to be executed when they register.

berry05 · December 11, 2008

yes i do want to give users 100 gold when they register..but when they register it goes to table users...and user_stats is another table that ahs 2 fields called username and gold and when users register i want the table to be filled out with registered users stuff which it does...and the other table user_stats to have gold and username fields filled out.. but register.php where users register has only the form and has include("include/session.php");

and some other php code.. that's why i was wondering do i put the query in the sessions.php file?

trq · December 11, 2008

Where are you getting this code from? Obviously you didn't write it.

There is a register() method within this session class (seems a rediculous name for a do it all class). So it could probably go there.

Honestly though, if this class is anything go by, your going to have a constant uphill battle maintaining this code.

berry05 · December 11, 2008

i tried putting it there and it didnt insert anything into the table...its ok though because i'll just make a login page...

trq · December 11, 2008

Can I see the register method with your code in it?

heres my code i inserted..

trq · December 11, 2008

That code does nothing but assign the string "INSERT INTO user_stats (gold) VALUES ('100')" to the variable $a.

You actually need to execute the query.

MadnessRed · December 15, 2008

$q = "INSERT INTO `user_stats` (`gold`) VALUES ('100') ;";
mysql_query($q) or die(mysql_error());

Though that code doesn't look right, surely you want something like

"INSERT INTO `user_stats` (`user_id`,`gold`) VALUES ('".$id."','100') ;"

Sign In

when a user registers how to i add values to another table?
