codefossa Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Add a `read` column to the database table, and use a query to count the number of messages to that ID that has the read column 0, and once they visit their messages, or an individual message, mark `read` = '1' Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/228758-new-message-alert/#findComment-1179464 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zac_exuro Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 thanks for your input.. i have this already in database.. and members get alerted when they have a new message but page has to be refreshed in order to see the alert because it is not javascript.. i dont know where to start.. i was looking for a script on google i can modify and make work for me but i cannot find any.. if someone could point me in the right direction..............

haku Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 This is done server side, not with javascript. Moving thread to php forum. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/228758-new-message-alert/#findComment-1180034 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zac_exuro Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 this is the code as is right now.. i dont know why this was moved to php when im needing javascript so messages alerts show in real time.. but im a noob too so you guys probably know why.. <div align="center"> <? if ($msg_type == "") { $msid = $myrow[id]; $msql = "SELECT count(*) from og_messages where toid=$msid AND checked=0 AND type like '1%' order by id DESC"; $mresult = @mysql_query($msql); $mmyrow = @mysql_fetch_array($mresult); $msql1 = "SELECT count(*) from og_messages where toid=$msid AND checked=0 AND type like '2%' order by id DESC"; $mresult1 = @mysql_query($msql1); $mmyrow1 = @mysql_fetch_array($mresult1); $msql2 = "SELECT count(*) from og_messages where toid=$msid AND checked=0 AND type like '3%' order by id DESC"; $mresult2 = @mysql_query($msql2); $mmyrow2 = @mysql_fetch_array($mresult2); $sqlpl = "SELECT * from og_userinfo where uid='$uid'"; $resultpl = @mysql_query($sqlpl); $myrowpl1 = @mysql_fetch_array($resultpl); if ($mmyrow[0] > 0) { ?> </p> </div> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/228758-new-message-alert/#findComment-1180055 Share on other sites More sharing options...
