dan_t Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I know this is a rather vague, open-ended question, but how would you go about having a template page where once a person filled out a form and the data is entered into the database a page would be automatically made for that user? Or is that even a good idea, security wise? If you have a decent contrived example, that would be helpful. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignace Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Or is that even a good idea, security wise? Is Facebook a good idea? Just joking. Sure, I don't see any problems with this, security-wise you would need to validate any input but this goes for everything you build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phpSensei Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 You want a page made for the user (user1.php,user2.php)? Is that how facebook works haha ^^^^? I thought they just have a page and used the user's id and such and used that to grab the information from the database. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_t Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 You want a page made for the user (user1.php,user2.php)? Not sure - What would be the best way? I have a profile page made. Last time I did do individual pages, but that was a pain! I suppose there's no good way to do that is there? Mainly because of naming pages?

marcus Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Facebook works off modrewrite for people who have a custom URL, or for people who don't have a custom URL they have a "profile.php?id=xxx" If you wanted to have a new page "created" for each user and have it like http://site.com/USER1.php http://site.com/USER2.php you could just use modrewrite instead of actually creating the page.

Simply get the user's ID and use a $_GET... user_page.php?userid=1 user_page.php?userid=2 user_page.php?userid=3 then use mod-rewrite to rename it to something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
