I want all my scripts on index.php. So when i press submit for login. It takes the script from index.php. that can be done using <form action="index.php" But when i put my scripts on the index.php script.. they start outputting, and i dont want them to do that before i have called them.

Lets say i have the index.php site. And i want it to do different things. Lets use "login" as an example. when i call the login script. I want it to take the script from the index.php page. Not call a script outside index.php. so i dont have to make many different pages. This is an example of the html code i have for my login form on "index.php" as you can see it calls an internal page with the login script in it. But if i try to do what i want to do.. changing <form action="index.php" <--- to this. it starts to output the echo statements i made in the login scripts. There must be some way of stopping the scripts to output before you have called it.? [code]<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="login.php">                 <label>Email:<br />                   <input name="email" type="text" class="login" id="email" />                   </label>                   <p>                     <label>Password:                       <input name="password" type="password"  class="login" />                       </label>                     </p>                     <p><input type="submit" class="login" value="Login" /></p>               </form>[/code]

Hello guys.. i want to run multiple scripts on the index page for different forms on the page example: login & registration. But when i use the scripts on the website they start outputting. How can i prevent this ? I want them to do something if the submit button for the forms have been pressed. Thank you .. i know im not very good at explaining. :(

Hello folks, i know now how to make a news script for posting news and displaying them using mysql, But i dont know how to make that news into a link so that people can see the whole news. example: use the topic as a link then press the link so the news shows up. I have an idea that the ID columms in the database have something to do with this. Does anyone have a link to a tutorial or an example of this? Thank you very much Fredrik Christensen Ip Generation Ltd

Also mate.. is there a lot of work to do a USER EXISTENCE check? so that users cant register twice ?

I found the problem Ken.. I forgot to use INT AUTO_INCREMENT on the userid field. IM sorry to bother you about this, but stupid errors occur all the time for me :P lol Thanks alot!

Problem with the query: INSERT INTO `larf_users` (`firstname`, `surname`, `email`, `landphone`, `mobilephone`, `postalcode`) VALUES ( 'Fredrik', 'Christensen', 'fredrik@pixelpeople.org', '22222222', '', 'SW19 5DH') Duplicate entry '' for key 1

But the mail functions and the echo functions work perfectly :S except from the mysql_query :S [code]<?php $username="xxxxxx"; ( changed for security reasons) $password="xxxxxx"; ( changed for security reasons) $server="xxxxxx"; ( changed for security reasons) $database="xxxxxx"; ( changed for security reasons) $adminmail="fred@ipgeneration.co.uk"; $required="This is a required field *"; $usermail= $_POST['email']; $adminmessage= " \n" .

Hello guys.. im kinda n00bish when it comes to PHP so i hope you can help me. Basically what im trying to do is to tell mysql to insert information into the database which the user inputs through a HTML form. I tried coding this but it is not entered into the database. Also i tried to echo the mysql_query string, but nothing seems to be inserted into the variable $sql. Any help would be greatly appriciated. [b]CODE1[/b] $sql=mysql_query("INSERT INTO `larf_users` (`firstname`, `surname`, `email`, `landphone`, `mobilephone`, `postalcode`) VALUES ('$_POST[firstname]' , '$_POST[surname]', '$_POST[email]', '$_POST[landphone] ', '$_POST[mobilphone] ', '$_POST[postalcode]')" ); [b]CODE2[/b] mysql_query("INSERT INTO `larf_users` (`firstname`, `surname`, `email`, `landphone`, `mobilephone`, `postalcode`) VALUES ('" .$_POST['firstname']."', '".$_POST['surname']."', '" .$_POST['email']."', '" .$_POST['landphone']. "', '" .$_POST['mobilephone']."', '" .$_POST['postalcode']."')"); It is probably just a shabby code error somewhere.. Also can you try and give me some advice on how to make my code cleaner ?
