Mini PHP Project

[.edit]

I think everyone starts with an IP logging script. Not a bad thing, really; if you make a half-decent one, you can learn quite a bit.

My most recent project was a login page.
It has a register button which when you register, submits the data to a mysql database.
When you login it verifies the data, and then proceeds to display a 'Logged in successfully' or 'The username or password is incorrect.'

It's not very secure, as I didn't really want to bother with making it secure.

Then you can still use $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']

;)

You could, but then you are using a already used function making the site load slower

You should of put almost. Because i sure didn't. I learned PHP by learning how to make Nuke-Evolution modules. lol

Well if it isn't going to be used publicly, then it really don't matter if it is secure or not. Just for like a tutorial to put out there or a snippet, then it would be cool. Other than that i always recommend making it secure. Just saying

Actually, it's not a function. It's a variable. If anything, assigning it to another variable would make it slower. But not by any sort of noticeable amount.

"using an already used function"? It's not used at all, it's not going to have 2 values at the same time because it gets refreshed for every person and for every page load. That's not going to make it slower, it's going to make things faster instead of trying to parse it out through an extra variable.

Nice to see you on SupportForums by the way Orgy.

Also, if I was to use JavaScript, then it would no longer be a PHP project, would it? It'd be a project.

Then you're going to have a hard time gathering their timezone. You could try looking up their IP in a GeoIP database and determining timezone from that.

That's too hard for me at the moment, I'm only just learning PHP.

I love the song, may I ask what is it called, or where could I get it?
It looks like a good start, keep it up!

If you understand what you're doing, you aren't learning anything. ;)

No, that page is just practicing what I already learned. I'm learning from w3schools.com
