It's very easy. Just take it slow and break your approach into steps. First deal with the login stuff. There are countless examples in the list archives here as well as on PHP development web sites from here to Vladivostok. Then all you have to do is fall through from your login function to your main page, which looks at the login credentials to determine which data to display. miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Login determines content on page
Hello, I'd to know how difficult it is to achieve the following: Create login page, when the submit button is clicked, the user info is checked against a database as to whether is login info is valid. if it is valid, a page is displayed that lists all of the classes that the user has registered for, meaning each user will see a different list of classes.

Re: [PHP] Login determines content on page
That's all possible using an SQL database (www.mysql.com) just think about the databnse first before you actually make it, i ran into a lot of problems because i just kept adding tables whenever i needed them a good hint is to write scemes of your script and what ylu want to achieve on paper before actually starting coding.. see www.php.net and www.mysql.com for all the docs you need. They really helped me along, so did the this list.

Re: [PHP] login determines content on page
Well, if $submit_happening is set to 0, 0 or false then if($submit_happening) will evaluate to false while if(isset($submit_happening)) will evaluate to true As the documentation (please read http://www.php.net/isset) isset() returns true if the variable exists and false if it doesn't. -Rasmus On Sat, 23 Feb 2002, jtjohnston wrote: What's the difference between if (isset($submit_happening)) and if $submit_happening) John [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Fri, 22 Feb 2002 21:38:16 -0500, you wrote: I'd to know how difficult it is to achieve the following: Create login page, when the submit button is clicked, the user info is checked against a database as to whether is login info is valid. if it is valid, a page is displayed that lists all of the classes that the user has registered for, meaning each user will see a different list of classes.
