I recently posted in the javascript forums, and they told me my request would probably be better using a server side script ... and I really dont know what to do... If you could look at this, then you should get what Im asking... I already looked around the php forum and didnt find what I was looking for.... Here it is... My JS Post
Thank You

You could do it in PHP with MySQL or without MySQL..
I prefer with MySQL because that is a lot easier to code..
it could look like something like this:

<?php
if ($voegtoe) {
$server = mysql_connect();
mysql_select_db("members",$server);
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `members` WHERE `gebrnaam` = '$gebrnaam'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) {
echo "This username is already in use.";
}
else {
if ($gebrnaam && $naam && $anaam && $email) {
$server = mysql_connect();
mysql_select_db("members",$server);
$sql = "INSERT INTO `members` VALUES ('$naam','$anaam','$woonplaats','$email','$gebrnaam','normaal','$select','$leeftijd','$w8wrd')";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
echo "You registration in completed";
}
else {
echo "You forgot to fill in some information";
}
}
}
?>
<form action="index.php?act=aanmelden" method="POST">
<table>
<tr>
<td>Username: </td><td><input type='text' name='gebrnaam'></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Password: </td><td><input type='text' name='w8wrd'></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Name: </td><td><input type='text' name='naam'></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Last name: </td><td><input type='text' name='anaam'></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Town: </td><td><input type='text' name='woonplaats'></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>E-mail: </td><td><input type='text' name='email'></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Gender: </td><td><select name='select'>
<option value='man'>male</option>
<option value='vrouw'>female</option>
</select></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Age:</td><td><input type='text' name='leeftijd'> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type='submit' name='voegtoe' value='Register!'> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

Some variables are Dutch sorry for that
And there aren't many checks like an email-check

Ok I put the code into a .html under the body but I think that would be wrong? What do I do with the code is what Im asking? Also what do I save it as?

Well... let me just get all my questions out now, because once I figure out how to make a registry page, then I am going to move into if the on registration can the info be automatically saved? Can someone make me a script where on the login form it will contain this...

Username
Password
Link To My Register Page
*Which both have to be filled out in order to submit... If accepted then move onto page, but if not then alert...

And on the register page if it would be possible to make it where once you submitted the form

Username
Username
Password
Password
Email
Email

filled out completely then I will get an email, but also the information (Username & Password) they submit will automatically be recorded into the database so they can log in? I know Im probably asking too many questions, and Im sorry ANother question I have is that can this be bypassed by anyone or can any find a way around it? Also thanks to anyone that helps. If you do reply try to walk me through step by step please because Im dummy in PHP...

Ok, it sounds like you need more of a custom script. What you are asking is a bit beyond the scope of this forums. There would be many willing to do this as a contract programming job (myself included), but that may get expensive. My advise to you would be to begin learning PHP, starting with some easier scripts. Also, you will want to make sure your server supports PHP and mySQL (or someother database). To check if your server supports PHP, try this. Note that PHP scripts must be renamed to .php (or .php4 for some servers).

test.php

<?PHP
echo "I have PHP!";
?>

Run that and check the output.

You could, perhaps, scour the internet for a free script doing what you are looking for, if you don't want to take the initiative to learn PHP...

[JDM71488]

Thanks pyro... Im going to take your advice on learning php. But I tried that test.php... Well I am currently through cox.net for my web site. And when I uploaded test.php to the server, and viewed it. It displayed the whole code. Is it supposed to do that? I dont think it is, not sure, but I renamed it to .php4 as you said. And still same thing. Is anything wrong? I think my server just doesnt support php... it wont allow me to post either... Thats why Im going to get a domain, when I get some income .

If you just saw the code, tat does mean that your server doesn't support PHP. Never mind.
