I have users register on my page and everything is getting saved on a MySQL DB. Everything works fine but I want to provide users to be able to login into an "admin" section where they can go and update or delete their info. I've found a couple of scripts that automate the creation of this but they also create the web form (for registration) for me. The form I have is pretty custom so I don't need nor want a script that creates it for me. Any good (and easily customizable) scripts to share that can do this? I can also code it myself if I have a link to a good tutorial. Thanks!!
it's pretty simple really. just select and update queries to the database. learn to read/write from/to a database and you'll be well on your way. here's a basic example for selecting items from a database and outputtiing them to the screen: <?php $conn = mysql_connect("hostname","username","password") or die("could not connect to mysql server");; mysql_select_db("database") or die("could not select database");; $query = "select id, first_name, last_name, other_info from tbl1 where username='username' limit 1"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die("could not execute query"); while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC) ) { echo $row['first_name']."<br />"; echo $row['last_name']."<br />"; echo $row['other_info']."<br />"; } ?> Code (markup): and a basic example for updating a row in a database: <?php $conn = mysql_connect("hostname","username","password") or die("could not open connection to mysql server"); mysql_select_db("database"); $query = "update user_info set first_name = 'boo radley' where id=1"; if(mysql_query($query)) { echo "database updated...."; } else { echo "an error occured and the data was not updated"; } ?> Code (markup):
