[PHP-DB] consistently format large amounts of content

[Brendon]

I'm looking for an easy and efficient way to format lots of similar content 
in a database for easy retrieval and possible ways to alter formatting of 
all the content in the future using a template.

Basically, the content is knowledgebase type information like articles on a 
topic, etc.  The content (each row of the database) is all formatted 
simmilarly.

Some ideas I have.
-Use common tages, H1, H2, P, UL, etc. and use CSS against these.
-XML? - don't know anything about this.
-Invent my own tagging system and preprocess the data before it's 
displayed.

Anyone have experience doing something like this? Should I look into other 
technologies?

you dont.  your confirmation email will tell them once they are logged in 
with a random password your script made, then they can go into the 
profiles section and change the password.

just have a boolean column that is set once they are confirmed.  you can 
check that against another column that holds the value when they first 
signed up.

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for you responce. I am also wondering how you would do that in 
the database, i have a table users in my MySQL database containing the 
users information that submitted when they registerd. Now i want to 
activate thier account only after they have clicked on the confirmation 
link... if possible without any additional tables in my db. I users do 
not confirm thier account i wanna remove thier data from the database 
after 48hours. Thanks for your time..

Best regards,

Davy Obdam

hi, too

please don't send password over the internet.
better you ask the user if they click the link
below your email. then the user get a formular
and there you can ask him for his password.
then you can make sure the emails wasn't read
by other user. this is a secure method.



Just create a hash, insert it into the users table. (update users set 
'confirmhash' = '$confirmhash' where xyz)

Create an email to the user with the hash in the link.
e.g. http://site.com/verify.php?ch=823jfs98d283r92h

Do a update/select for the hash, and activate the account.

[PHP-DB] processing status page help

[Brendon]

Hello,

How can I create a page that notifies the user their request is being 
processed after they click a submit button?

For example, they type in some information, the page then says Your 
request is processing...

Maybe a few animated ... 's for eyecandy, and then once the process is 
completed, they get directed to a desired page.

Regards,
Brendon
