RE: [PHP] resubmit form after validation error
Hi,
You can use a variable to that. Like following. Example if the variable is 1
you start to processing form input.
Example
form method=post action=file.php?action=1
And in file.php you check the action variable if it is 1 you can start the
processing data.
If($_GET['action']==1) {
Echo done;
}
Thanks.
Caner.

RE: [PHP] PHP Mail Function
Julian, From my understanding of PHP's mail() function, it doesn't do anything more than send to the address you specified. On that note, I'd check things like: Email address typos The email your sending to your domain, is it already being forwarded? If so, do you get the email at your gmail account? If it's not being forwarded, add $additionalheaders to your script and CC: your gmail account when sending to your domain. See if it shows up there. Anyway those are somethings you could try as you have supplied no code to check syntax and/or given any other testing you've tried.

You'll need to work out a way to expire someone's login if they appear to be logged in too long (they closed their brower or left it open but forgot about the tab for your site).

RE: [PHP] Users Online?
Chris, If it were me (and let me warn you, there's probably 100 different ways to do this), but If I was using a table to log them into a control panel (CP) of sorts, I'm sure you have other DB querries to handle the CP stuff it self, correct? Well if your already taking the time to create a DB connection on each page of that CP, why not just make a field that updates an active status, and/or add this to Pauls suggestion of logged in/out times, then every page they visit updates that time to show they are still active. Then do something like my bank does and set a time limit on each page, that if another page on the site isn't visited in so many seconds, you force them to log out. (you could even throw something in that asks the user if they want to stay logged in, cuz that'd be a nice feature) :) Not sure if this was what you were lookin for but just an idea.
