ToonMariner Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 All the cases where you use $var, $var2 $var3 etc etc. just use $var each time - help teh server out a little bit.Why not leave all the mesages where they are - add one filed to you database 'trash' and have it set no 'n' or 'y'. Just show the ones marked 'y' in teh trash can and the rest in inbox; would probably help u in the ong run. You can then just update that field whne the user has checked against any messages.

khendar Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Of course using $var every time will work. Not the best practice though. I would give your variables meaning names such as $select_query $select_result etc.The rest is simple:Add a new column to your `pm` table which is called `trash`.Set the default value of `trash` to false - or no - or 0When someone deletes their message, dont ACTUALLY delete it, just change the value of the `trash` field to true - or yes - or 1.
