justAnoob Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I'm working on a messaging system. What I'm looking to do is when I user recieves a message that is unread,, it marks it as new,, then after they have read the message, have it marked as nothing, cause it was read already. I have a column in my database called status. And users can already send messages. What is the next step so I can implement the status part?

Daniel0 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 When the user views it, set status as unread (or 0 or 1 or however you denote it in your system). Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/159606-solved-messaging-system/#findComment-841820 Share on other sites More sharing options...
justAnoob Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 How about when a user sends a new message,, have the mysql query set the status as new,, and then when a user clicks on a link to view the message, do a update to change the status?
