hey guys thanks for the feedback. so what i would be best doing is either keep the random p/w generator and then create a form to allow the user to change there password to one of their choice to prevent bots? or have the user specify a password but use a captcha to prevent bots? Andy

hey all making progress with my site thanks for the help come across another issue, at the moment my regisration form creates a random p.w and emails it to the user enabling them to log in, my query is, can i change this so that user can enter their own password? here is my registration details if it helps regards $pass = substr(md5($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].microtime().rand(1,100000)),0,6); this generates a random password and emails it to the user after they enter a username and their email address 1. what would i need to add to my regisration form to allow a user generated p.w 2. do i need to change anything on the sql? 3. what would the field on the form be? thanks again in advance everyone

excellent, thanks for your help guys. So far all ive got is a page where the user is logged in and then it gives them a page which welcomes to a "members area" What id want is that each user gets a page name www.site.co.uk/Username for example which is editable by the user with say name, age, and an area where the user can add whatever info they want like a bio. What would i need to set up on the SQL database? so far i have tables for the username pass and id and email. have been trying to find templates online of profile pages to edit but to no avail

So create the page where users edit the profile and it basicially pulls from the tables on the datatbse based on the user that is logged in and their individual table?

and i apologise in advance if this has been covered. Used the search facilty but couldn't find anything

Hello everyone. I'm looking for some advice on a website im creating. I have made the login system, an also the registration forms. when a user is then logged in it gives the user a logged in only page. What i want to create is a user page. that the users can change their own profiles, upload pictures etc. Am i right in thinking this is to do with sessions? and creating each logged in user a session. But how do they add personal info to a profile? Thanks in advance for any advice. Andy
