Getting date and updating multiple tables.

Recommended Posts

As I am new to all this php, I need some help and/or ideas on how to code this little idea of mine:

 

I have a database with a members table, I would like to create some Teams, and so I want too create a new table with the info for these teams.

 

My problem is to set what team a member belongs too. My idea short

 

Add a new column in the members area to hold the Id of the team this member belongs too.

 

So if member 1000 sends a "join team link" too member 2000 the script needs to get the team id from member 1000 and add this id to member 2000.

 

select teamid from members where id=1000

update teamid='same id as member 1000' where id='membersid'

 

I hope this all makes sense, cause I am having a hard time trying to explain it.

Hi mate,

 

I think i know what you mean.

 

If you send the link via email you could include the link in the body, something like:

 

http://yoursite.com/jointeam.php?team=$team_name

 

$team_name would be taken from the users row in the database who is sending the link.

 

When the user clicks the link, jointeam.php would take $team_name from the url using the $_GET method and then you could use a mysql_query to write the team name to the new members row in the database.

 

Sorry i had to be brief im just on my way out. If nobody else helps you by the time i get back and its not too late i could write you up a quick example if you want.

 

Hope it helps.
