I copied the codes from this http://www.hosting.vt.edu/tutorials/phpmysql/#dbConnect

see "putting it all together"

 

(im new at php) If you think you can help me I could give you the username/password to my FTP

 

help greatly appreciated -- this is for a nonprofit organization btw. we plan to hold a citywide clean-up event in SF and I'm trying to create a user registration database for it.

whats your include look like?

[tips]

<?php

  // load the database library

  include('http://tsd.akirichan.net/adoptanalleyway/DB.php');

ini_set('allow_url_fopen', 'on');

 

  $dbtype = "mysql";

  $dbuser = "ccdc";

  $dbpassword = "empower";

  $dbhost = "mysql.tsd.akirichan.net";

  $dbname = "workathon";

  $connection = $dbtype.'://'.$dbuser.':'.$dbpassword.'@'.$dbhost.'/'.$dbname;

  $database = DB::connect($connection);

?>

You cant load a php like that. PHP pages are private or hidden in a browser. Try to load it locally

Nevermind i figured out how to do it without a database, thanks though! =)

Do you guys think this is alright or is it somehow less secure without a database?

also, is it possible to separate the add a guest form and the lists of guest into different pages

 

Also, any ideas on how to organize my list of guests and their information into a table?

[tips]

nevermind! i got everything=)

I just want to know if there are security issues with the method I'm using

[Cosizzle]

Well theres always security issues, if you use or dont use a database I dont think it matters. Databases are used to store data and speed up a website
