Profiles?

[Lucky13]

Hey...I want to work on a .php script that will allow people to edit their profiles via web. I want them to be able to log in to the editing page using their name and their passwords which are already in a SQL database. Any way to do this? Thanks.

I am also interested in a script that would do that.

Perl, PHP, or ASP?

sql = select query language - what databases talk

mySQL is a free db - yopu need it on your server and an account set up for you


MAIN QUESTION

lots of ways to do it but you sound as though you want to do some session tracking so only allowed people can see their profile and then change it - if you don't session track then they have to give name/password twice which is crap.

not hard but takes ages to explain

depends on how secure you want it

more secure=more work

[Lucky13]

ok........so does that mean that no one knows how?

its pretty complicated...check out devshed.com and webmonkey.com, they have some good tutorials on mysql.

[lucifer]

it can be done quite easy

too long to explain though

learn some sql

select, insert, delete, update

they are all you really need to know

learn some php

learn about session tracking

cobble a script together

good luck

Almost: SQL = Structured Query Language
