Well you could use your php environmental variables to capture the users ip address, the timestamp, and last page visited and store the information in a mysql database then run a search ordered by timestamp. Checkout the following link for some ideas http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php Be sure to check out REMOTE_ADDR and HTTP_REFERER

[quote]<form action="parsethis.php?id=45XYZ" method="POST"> [/quote] should be [code]<form action="parsethis.php?id=45XYZ" method="GET">[/code] if you want to use POST use: [code]$id = $_POST['id'];[/code] or you can use the following code for both GET and POST [code]$id = $_REQUEST['id'];[/code]

ok try this [code] $result = @mysql_query("SELECT * FROM t_50 ORDER BY name ASC");   $adcount = 0; while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {   $letter = strtoupper(substr($row['name'],0,1));       if ($letter != $header) {       print "<p/><b><u>";  echo  "<a href=#>$letter</a>"; print "</u></b></p>";     } if ($adcount <4) {     echo "<br/><a href=index.php?movie=".$row['id'].">".$row['name']."</a>";   $adcount= $adcount+1; } else {     echo "<br/><a href=index.php?movie=".$row['id'].">".$row['name']."</a>";       echo "Display ad";     $adcount = 0;   }   $header = $letter; } [/code]

try this [code] $result = @mysql_query("SELECT * FROM t_50 ORDER BY name ASC");   $adcount = 0; while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {     if($letter != substr($row['name'],0,1)) {       $letter= substr($row['name'],0,1); print "<p/><b>";  echo  "<a href=#>$letter</a>"; print "</b>";     } else { if ($adcount >=4) {     echo "<br/><a href=index.php?movie=".$row['id'].">".$row['name']."</a>";       echo "Display ad";     $adcount = 0; } else {     echo "<br/><a href=index.php?movie=".$row['id'].">".$row['name']."</a>";   $adcount= $adcount+1;   } } } [/code]

try this [code] <?php $ipaddy = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; $ipaddy = str_replace(".","",$ipaddy); $query = "SELECT DISTINCT(ip) FROM ipbase WHERE ip=$ipaddy"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die("mysql error: " . mysql_error()); while ($line = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { $ipad = $line['ip']; if ( $ipad == $ipaddy ){ echo "Welcome ".$ipaddy;             } else {                       echo "Welcome Guest"; $query = "INSERT INTO `ipbase` (`ip`) VALUES('$ipaddy')"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); }                       } mysql_free_result($result); ?> [/code]

How can i modify and/or delete a cron job using php? Is it even possible?

Without seeing more of ur code I think u should do the calculation outside of the link and echo the result in the link like this [code] $plus = $rec_Recordset1['id'] + 1; $minus = $rec_Recordset1['id'] - 1; <div align="center">   <div id="image_navigation"> <a href="gallery.php?id=<?php echo        $minus; ?>"><img src="../images/previous.jpg" border="0" />[/url]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="gallery.php?id=<?php echo $plus; ?>"><img src="../images/next.jpg" border="0" />[/url]   </div> </div> [/code]

Thanks. How do i modify or delete the cron job within php though

Is there anyway to set up a cron job from within php itself. If so how?

I think mjdamato has it right its much safer to store the user and password variables in a separate file eg. source.ini.php then upload this file outside of web browser path. When u need them just include the file. But i guess u can also combine what ur doing with this approach but i dont see what extra security values it provides...well maybe to someone who might not know what their looking at. Doubt it but stranger things have happened  ;)

This still doesnt solve the undelying problem as thorpe said [quote] Still, you going to need to set these variables somewhere.[/quote]

always wanted to learn how to create recurrent events is there a tutorial that does a good job of teaching this.

i think the last post should work but i would make the following modification [code] SELECT itemName,itemId,itemPrice,itemSmall FROM `products` WHERE itemDesc like "%$descvalue%" OR (itemName like "%$descvalue%" OR itemId like "%$descvalue%") [/code]

This link [url=http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php]http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php[/url] can explain better i think. But basically it allows you to retrieve the variable $id whether using Post in the case of a form or Get in the case of a url like your doing

sorry that should be [code] echo "<a href='example.com?id=$id'>$title</a>" . "<a href='example.com?id=$id'>$category</a>" . "<a href='example.com?id=$id'>$location</a>" . "<a href='example.com?id=$id'>$salary</a>"; [/code]
