Well there are for and against' of everything but this in my opinion is for! The only problem with PHP is that:- one thing goes wrong, Everything goes downDon't get me wrong here php scripts are fantastic! The reasons for BackupUser PleasingError handlingAnd the reasons againstUses disk spaceCan make a site run slowerI personally recommend it you really can't go wrong with having to many backups! So say "what the hell" to disk space and get some really nice themes, but remember if the theme does need to be changed, it still needs to blend in with your website! You could copy the same theme and edit different colours! Just a suggestionAs for keeping your standard theme, defiantly! It always helps to keep that as a reference if something does ever go wrong! The dark light thing... As long as it still fits into your website.Good luck with your forum!Hope this helpsKarlos

Hmm interesting point but it works fine as it is, so im content as a cucumber to leave it as it is. You use cookies? do tell! My page does include that! hehe i guess I should've mentioned it really, And i've just made a logout script to (YAY) I am very new to php. So this is a huge learning curve for me! No it wasn't. I need basically to make a php email Client for ONE account I think i've made one though (eeek) so any help is well appreciated, you seem to know your stuff when it comes to php and tips you can give me are appreciated!Thanks again karlos

Ok i've only given half the story there, here's the login script. It uses a msql table called members, and in that is user_id user_name user_password I wonder if i was to put a user_email in it and then get the email system above to recall it using echo? If im wrong there can you please correct me? I would just need it to call the user_email from the MYSql database As you would've guessed I've just started with php! SO any help and tips and things will help greatly! ok here goes <?phpob_start();$host="localhost"; // Host name$username=""; // Mysql username$password=""; // Mysql password$db_name="test"; // Database name$tbl_name="members"; // Table name// Connect to server and select databse.mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");// Define $myusername and $mypassword$myusername=$_POST['myusername'];$mypassword=$_POST['mypassword'];$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE username='$myusername' and password='$mypassword'";$result=mysql_query($sql);// Mysql_num_row is counting table row$count=mysql_num_rows($result);// If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 rowif($count==1){// Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file "login_success.php"session_register("myusername");session_register("mypassword");header("location:login_success.php");}else {echo "Wrong Username or Password";}ob_end_flush();?>Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance Karlos EDIT: i had put the wrong version of my script in, its better now!

Hey guys, I Really need a PHP based email system it needs to be able to Send and Recieve E-mails Upload and download Attatchments Create emails (WYSIWYG is ideal!) I actually already have one here Which is copied from a tutorial but this is why it isn't practical. I am making a control panel for a subdomain that i've given to my friend, He needed an email address (so i gave him one). Now I adore squirell mail, I even tried to make that work to what i want! So basically what needs to happen is Bob will log onto his control panel that i will be building, He will then click a button titled E-mail Now heres the bit i've been struggling with it will automatically log him on. His email address is kieran@rotf.urbaninsticts.trap17.com So rather than him having to type that all the time it'll already know it. Like cPanel, That is ideal! That is exactly how I want it! You just go into Read Webmail and hey presto your done, no login in needed I've attached the File I've used if anyone wants to look and possibly edit How would I make the login screen automatically, "put" the email address in? Well rather than ask any more questions and confuse everyone some more, Look at your cPanel on trap in E-mail Is a section that says Read webmail... Click it it then takes you to a choice of two, But when you click it your reading your default email account! Am I making sense now? lol (I do annoy people with not making sense so i've tried my best!) Thanks to anyone in advance karlos Opps forgot to attach file p.s I was wondering how would I make it use cookies? would that help? If yes then how do i make my email system use a cookie rather than a login screen? PHPMail3_mail.zip

As i say im kind but stupid! I think ive got a file manager that does the lot (wohoo) I've found an email system all of this is php I'll probably right my own "switchboard" and hey who knows... its a project in the making! could put it on my website! wait a free cPanel, Ok thats my next project I've got a php email client and a File manager I'll make an auto install script for different things like SMF AEF Coppermine etc Even a page to copy and paste scripts! At the moment it's all code and theory so any help would be appreciated Karlos My cPanel is coming on great I will be posting it here when i've finished so that people can do the same as me in the future (yer be kind but stupid ) I installed his forum last night and he was over the moon with it! A am however having trouble getting my email system to find cookies. When the user signs in to my login system it automatically drops a cookie in the users cookies folder, and I'm wanting the email system to see the cookie and automatically log him on to the users email account without him having to enter any details into the system itself. Any ideas? (Go here for the attachment) you'll notice I've posted a topic elsewhere but the idea of using a cookie only crossed my mind now! Any help is always appreciated Karlos

Hmm i like it! It's obvious that alot of work has gone into that are your going to be adding some ads?Err I just went through the navigation bar and nothing happens i get a 404 error! haha I bet i haven't read something.But still when all said and done... Well done and good luck with it to!karlos

Hi there a friend of mine was absolutely desperate for a webpage so, me being the kind but stupid person that I am, made him a sub-domain, and set up the ftp account. However if he wants to install something in the future that uses Mysql I have to make him a database and a user etc, etcMy question is, is it possible to give him something like cpanel? could i install it on the sub-domain? So that he can have controls like mysql, file manager, site submission?If it is possible, It needs to be VERY cheap! free is ideal! I think I've found a file manager but it'll be annoying having to go from one product to another to another! Any help is appreciatedPlease help!

So after asking jlhaslip (thanks btw!) which is the best PHPBB3 or SMF he said go on guess... AEF, never heard of it before untill today, today my friends SMF gets shot. AEF is fantastic It has got little sexy icons at the bottom that move (yes move). The icons will zoom in and out. I have never seen such an advanced forum with so many features STANDARD! For example, it has a HTML section so you can put what you want in the headers and footers! No nasty messed up code (like SMF or PHPBB3) I have gotta say well done to the developers of phpbb3 though their new forum is fantastic BUT AEF is one step ahead! AEF can be seen here An example can be seen here There's a "banking" system for AEF that resembles Trap's credit system HERE There's also a shoutbox... Standard, you can turn it off and on if you want! I am currently installing the banking system I will be writing back here soon

I have got MSN and AIM but i only use them occasionally.Of course i help people free, including you! I was looking at your profile earlier, you seem like a good laugh! So when you need me PM me and ill help Straight away! Karlos

I was wondering how long it's take for someone to reply! Well i am going to There aren't actually many halo templates for phpbb3 as its actually quite new, However by chance i've stumbled upon one (go me! ) Ok here you go, looks kinda cool! it's halo 2 though but just change numbers around and it'll do fine! Hope this helps Karlos
