Hi, I need some help from your side. I just want to create a user profile page which has to be based on PHP programming language as well as AJAX. I am waiting for your replies and advices. I just can't find the good tutorial to follow. Please, help me if you can?!

Hi!

@alex

Could you be a bit more specific about what you want to use AJAX on the profile page for? Do you want something like FaceBook/Twitter such that you can post status updates without having to refresh the profile page? Or perhaps edit your profile information in a similar fashion? If you can post a link to the profile page that you've built or maybe even post a screenshot, we'll know what you're trying to accomplish.

Regards,
Nitin Reddy

Specifically, I would like to create registration page using PHP and AJAX first which has to include like checking if the user name is taken or not, or the email is valid or not.... Simply, the functions that check something for credibility or validity?!

You would need...
1. backend php script - which validates usernames/checks availability by doing database queries to MySQL
2. frontend page - registration page like you're looking for
3. frontend javascript - handlers for the forms on your page that call the backend and process the results to give the user a message

Which part/s do you know/need to learn in particular? We could probably be more helpful if we knew which parts of the process you wanted to learn more about.

Also, you may be better off using a prebuilt library on both the php and the javascript end, as commonly used things such as AJAX requests are commonly provided by libraries already. This saves you the hassle of dealing with the browsers and such.

  11. Cleaning User Input With Regex

    name, address, city, etc. I use this to perform this action, which works nicely: PHP Code: CODE
    $string = ucwords(strtolower($string)); This fixes the input if the user types in all caps
    or all lowercase. There is a problem I have been noticing about those who enter a generation after
    their name, such as "Bill Warner III". The above function changes it to "Bill Warn....

    someone could explain a concept to me more in layman's terms. This is what I hope to do - I want
    to go to my url (www.xyzblah.com) and have it automatically prompt for either a username and
    password, or just a password. After the correct credentials are supplied, go to the regular
    index.html. Any help you could give me is appreciated. Thanks.....
