PHP Comment box help.


Far Cry

Recommended Posts

Hello, I have recently created a comment box for my site where you will be able to comment on the users profile, however when I post a comment on say my friends profile, it posts ON EVERYONE's profile.... And I want the comment to be on just the persons you put the comment on.  Here is "inc_rate.php"

 

 

?php
//Please set the following variables for your MySQL database:
//Please set the following variables for your MySQL database:
//it is highly recommended that you restrict access for the user for security reasons
//it only needs "INSERT" privileges

$db_hostname = "localhost";  //usually "localhost be default"
$db_username = "";  //your user name
$db_pass = "";  //the password for your user
$db_name = "";  //the name of the database


/*MYSQL DATABASE CONNECTION/ TRACKING FUNCTIONS
--------------------------------------*/
// connect to database
$dbh = mysql_connect ($db_hostname, $db_username, $db_pass) or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ($db_name);



//for security, html is not allowed, so bbcode is used for formatting

<---Embed code below-->
<?php
require('inc_rate.php');

?>

</body>
</html>

 

And Finally my comments table:

CREATE TABLE `comments` (
  `commentid` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `tutorialid` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  `name` text NOT NULL,
  `url` text NOT NULL,
  `comment` text NOT NULL,
  `email` text NOT NULL,
  `date` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
  PRIMARY KEY  (`commentid`),
  KEY `tutorialid` (`tutorialid`)
)

 

 

I showed all the files so you know what I am working with in hopes that you can help me :PPP
