Help With Database

The username is a field with a letters, the primary key has to be a number. I generally use a field that i call id for all my primary keys.

Can you post the code or supply a link to a zipped file, please.

Someone will look at the whole thing and advise what they find, but until we see the code, we will only be guessing at the potential fixes...

thx jlhaslip and others: http://rapidshare.com/files/32206829/site.zip.html i think it would be great if anyone of you could make a database in mysql, cuz i made it in access so itll prolly suck

First thing to change is to add the php start and stop tags to the conn.php.
When a file is "included", it is parsed as html unless you identify it as a php file by inserting the "<?php" and "?>" tags before and after. It might be that the con.php is not firing up the connection? because it isn't being id'd as a php file...

Ugh, I need to learn more PHP, but for now can you fix it, try to see if it works and then send back? So i can look at the differences between the 2. And the login system was from a tutorial on this site.

Well, aside from the difficulties you are experiencing with php as per the above reply, it appears that you have tackled a difficult task. The Tutorial you are using has MySql code, but you are using an MS Access Database, so there is one problem there.

Also, it appears to me that the site files you have zipped are a collection of several different Tutorials using various files and methods which you are not quite familiar with. What i mean by this is that the Tutorial you link to above includes nothing about Lost Passwords, but your site files do...

I suggest you scale down the Features you are trying to implement for now. Go back to the original Tutorial and start over. This time, simply set the goal of allowing users to Register and Log-in. Build your database and tables according to what you have available, either mysql or Access, don't mix them... Forget about verifying sessions, setting cookies for now. You can add those features later, similarly the Lost password feature. Go back to a basic Log-in system to start with.

If you only have access to Access, find a Tutorial that uses the ms Access method, otherwise download and Install a WAMP or XAMPP to set up php and mysql servers on your Localhost for testing purposes.. those are my recommendations...

Well I didn't mix several tutorials, i only tried them and afterwards moved them to them 'database' inside the site zip file. There is no link to these files, so there isnt a problem with that. And yes like you said, the problem is that i dunno how to use MySQL, cuz i dont understand how it works and didnt find a download on the official site. I'll try to find it, so it might work

  1. Import From Excel File Into Mysql Database - (11)
    Has anyone tried using the excel import function that comes with phpmyadmin
    http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/ - it does not require any additional plug-ins or scripts and
    is fairly straightforward to use. In phpmyadmin, if you click on the database table which you wish
    to import the data to , there is a link on the bottom left corner which says "insert data from a
    text file into the table" - although it says text file it still can be used to import an excel file.
    When you click on this link you will be taken to a page where you will be asked for the file name

  4. Index In A Mysql Database - Make the numbers follow (3)
    I hope I am on topic here (It does have to do with web design, after all). I have noticed that in a
    MySQL database, the 'id' field just keeps its numbers for every record, with the backdraw
    that, whenever you remove (a) record(s) from the table, you get your list numbered as eg.
    1,5,6,7,12,25 etc. This makes it a bit difficult of keeping track of the number of records in your
    table. Is there a way of achieving (either in PHPMyAdmin or through the use of PHP) that the id
    field in your table gets sort of 'refreshed and updated' so you have a clearer view...
  5. Treating .csv Files As Database Data - Showing .CSV data on a web page (2)
    I use a nice program (which I helped to beta test) called ' Simfatic Forms ' to generate
    forms on web pages. The only problem is that it does not (yet) support MySQL databases, it saves the
    form data as a .CSV file. Now I was wondering if you can do the same with a .CSV file as you do
    with a MySQL databse, ie. displaying the data in that file on a web page which adjusts automatically
    as data are added to the file. To clarify: eg. if I make a form to sign a petition online, the data
    are saved to a .CSV file every time someone fills in the form, is it now possibl...
  6. Accessing Mysql From Javascript - Javascript to communicate with database (4)
    I found a nice program which allows you to put quizzes on your web site. You can design your own
    questions, set the layout of your page, and there is also a possibility of having the results
    emailed to you. It further offers a facility to store the results and all that, all you have to do
    is put a link in the program, telling it which page takes care of that. However, when I look at the
    HTML code the program generates, I see that most of it is written in Javascript. Obviously, it also
    uses variable names, but as I don't know any Java, I was wondering if those variab...
