Php + Mysql Archiving Help..

Recommended Posts

Hey all, I've been searching the net tonight trying to find a tutorial or script that is capable of allowing members of my site to add to a list of information easily. Let me try to explain this a little better so you can probably help me out. I want to make an archive for my members, kind of like a contact page, where their information is posted in a list (Username, Address, Website, Age, ect.) I want them to be able to fill out a form and have it posted to this page in real-time and also be allowed to edit their own information and not able to access anyone elses. I would like it to be formated on my page in a table with every other row a different colour, so it's easier on the eyes. I hope I explained sufficiently enough for anyone to be able to help me locate a tutorial or script that will explain to me how I go about doing this. Thanks in advance...

It sounds like you are simply looking for a guestbook script that requires a password to modify. I don't know how familiar you are with PHP but you can take one of the many guestbook scripts (posted here at Xisto I believe) and modifiy it to suit your needs.The data you are looking to track or save is the same type of data that a guestbook would save. The only thing you have to do is add one more field for a password. Associate the password with that particular entry. Then when the person wants to change the contact info, they have to put that same password in. You can just compare the password in the database to the one entered in the form.

you'll probably find a hard time find an exact same script. this is the only way i can help you, since i cannot find the same script because it is customized. i'll make a php script for you and learn from it instead. if it is ok for you.

That sounds great. I would really appreciate any help on this subject. I'm not very good with php yet. I'm still learning new things about it and trying to understand the components of it better. I always learn better with hands-on experiance, which is why I like to mess with scripts and look at the source page for sites. It helps me learn how something works. If you are able to help, in any way, that would be great. Thanks again for the suggestions and help on this.
