Re: [PHP-DB] Sessions ???

2001-05-02 Thread DC

Thanks Steve;
I now have this in a session file in my tmp dir

topicID|s:1:"8";

Now how do i get the link to read http://localhost/forums/view.php?topicID=8

i think its along the lines of
http://localhost/forums/view.php3?PHPSESSIONID?topicID

I am banging away, the 4 books i have on Php are useless when it comes to
session and there usage.

Thanks for the help

[PHP-DB] How to stop blank entries

2001-04-16 Thread DC

Hi All
Firstly thanks to the people who have helped in the past with my
questions...

My issue:

I have a registration script which allows new users of a site to become a
member.

All works very well BUT if a new user just hit enter on the blank form then
a new account is created with all fields except the id field blank allowing
anyone just to hit enter a gain access.

I have search the MySql docs, Php.net docs, this and other NG's but i can't
find the solution to this.

And how can i carry forward the username to be shown on all pages after
sucessful login.

I thank you in advance

Dave C

To email me remove the NOSPAM bit of my return email address

Re: [PHP-DB] count function?

2001-03-30 Thread DC

Ok i think i need to expand my help request... my fault

I have a db that uses ids for topics in a message board ie each topic has
messages of various numbers in them.

>From my select a topic page i hope to put the number of messages in the
topic, so it visually looks like this sort of...

topic 1 bb (5 posts)
topic 2 ff (2 posts

and so on.

The only constant i can see in the tables is my posts table which specifies
the topic id number.

So i think i am asking how can i count the number of the same topic id
numbers and show that next to the relevant topic.

Thanks Again
