PHP newbie.... designing first website utilizing PHP
Posted: Sat Nov 15, 2008 12:43 pm
Dear Developing Gods.....
I have recently had a vision of this fantastic site, and have just designed all the templates and such. Today I shall finish all of my XHTML and also my CSS. There are a few things that I would like to use on the site to make it more attractable to prospective clients... however, I am still a newbie to PHP. I understand how to have a login form on the page that simply stores the users info into the MySQL DB, but I have a few other questions. Here it goes:
1. How, after the user logs in, would I get it to say "You are currently logged in as 'user'" at the top of the pages instead of having the username and password fields?
2. How do I generate a 'user' logout?
3. How do I create a downloads portion on my site... so that users can download .pdf files and such from the server?
4. What is the easiest way to add RSS to my page?
5. Is there anything else PHP that would go great on a Training/Resource site for Health?
Thank you for taking the time to help me. After I get going... I should be okay for a while.
Very Respectfully,
Derek
