The Next Step? (after php mysql database)
Posted: Sat Mar 28, 2009 11:13 am
Hello. After setting up a MySQL - PHP Database for a website, what is the next step?
My database is for users to sign up for the site and be a member. The site will have a forum.
I want the users to be able to have a private messaging feature, and an editable basic profile feature, as well as the obvious forum posting feature.
What is the next step in my PHP / MySql venture? or where do I start even to learn about what I do next?
As of now, all I have is a form on a sign up page of the site that lets a user enter an account name, password, email address, name, and location. This information is sent to the database I made. What are the next steps?
For example, first of all, how do I add in a VERIFY YOUR ACCOUNT email that is sent to their email so they can become active members and edit their profile / participate on the forums?
P.S. I realize this is no easy task.. that is why I'm trying to learn step by step
