techiefreak05 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 hi, i have a site where you can sign up, send messages, etc. and i also have a profile system ... BUT to edit your profile you have to build it from the ground up!! your page is EMPTY, how would i make it so they can edit snippets, like myspace??? take a look:http://zycoworld.flamelicker.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomfmason Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 how are you displaying the users information. If it is a simple form then you can do something like this.[code=php:0]$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `yourtable` WHERE `username` = '$username'") or die(mysql_error());while ($rw = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql)) { //now we display a form with the users info in text boxes and areas. echo '<form action="your_edit.php?user_id=' . $rw['user_id'] .' method="post"> Email : <input type="text" name="email" value="' . $rw['email'] . '"> Some info: <textarea cols="50" rows="10">' . $rw['some_info'] . '</textarea> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Update Profile"> </form>';}[/code]This is a realy simple way of doing this but it should give you an idea.Also when you post a link you should make sure that it is a relivant link. Not just a link to your homepage.Hope this helps,Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techiefreak05 Posted August 22, 2006 Author Share Posted August 22, 2006 Well .. i have that. thats to edit your personal user account, i want something that you can edit certain pieces of www.mydomain.com/user.html .... like a myspace profile. i have something that works, but you have to edit the page all your self, there is noe template or anything... and i want there to be little snippets that you can edit, to edit your "profile" or user page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfmason Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I think that it would be better to use a database to store that and use a php page to display it.So what I mean is something like this.[code]<?php $username = $_GET['username'];?><html><title><?php echo "$username"; ?>'s personal page</title><body><?php//now display there information?></body></html>[/code]Then you could use something like what I posted before.If you realy want to use an html page then you will need to read up on [url=http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.fread.php]fread[/url] and fwrite. This is going to be alot more complicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techiefreak05 Posted August 22, 2006 Author Share Posted August 22, 2006 what i use right now is fwrite, but its really basic ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
