How To Give Personal User Url On A Dating Website Just Like MySpace Does?
I had posted a question regarding how to design high traffic fast
dating website on different PHP groups. I got a lot of useful
responses. I have added links to all the posts below for reference.
I am back with another question regarding the dating website. How do I
go about creating personal user url on the site like it is done on
MySpace.com
The personal url for user1 will look like www.myWebSite.com/user1
The first solution I know is to create a folder for each user and put a
index.php script that show the user profile. But then there would be a
lot of folders. how can I catch the user1 from the url request string
www.myWebSite.com/user1
The ssecond solution would be to set the page not found script in
Apache. But then again I need to capture the 'user1' from the request
string.

PHP Dating Website Software Required
Im looking to start a UK dating site and interested in a quality script that will provide all i need to set this up. I need search by UK postcodes included and the ability to use the frame to build other information pages on the site. Ideally, i wish to customise using my own theme and logos. Ive seen loads of basic scripts on sites like ebay for this but have no idea what works and what doesnt. Anyone got any ideas? or has anyone experience they could pass on regarding scripts of this nature they may have used in the past .

Get User Info From Myspace/facebook/bebo Using CURL
I'm making a social networking site and I'm looking into an easy way for people to get signed up. Was just wondering if this was possible: Could a user put in their Myspace/facebook/bebo username and password then a script would remotely connect to the site and grab their user info and avatar etc? We're thinking that this would make it very easy and simple for people to join up, as they don't have to enter all that information again. I presume I'd be using cURL for this. Would their be any obstacles in my way?

Give User Different Site
I'm trying to set up a staging environment on my website where clients can see the progress on their web(site/page). I was wondering if there was a way using php and/or other common apache modules to change the document root of a subdomain based on login data, collected either by HTTP authentication or just by an HTML form... Without editing apache2.conf or any other server-wide configuration file. So for instance, joe visits stage.mydomain.com and is presented with a login request. once he logs in, stage.mydomain.com serves him the files contained in /web_designs/joes_site. But when jane logs in she is served the documents in /web_designs/janes_site while accessing the same url.

Give User A Choice Of Fields To Search With Full Text/Boolean?
I want to give the user the option of searching a combination of the fields $Topic, $Subtopic, $Theswords in Boolean/Full Text. The problem is if I make any of the fields empty prior to the query, I get a MySql syntax error message. The user has the option of selecting fields via checkboxes, but when the field is not selected the user will get the error message because the variable is empty in the query statemtnt. Are there any code suggestions for avoiding the error message when a field is not selected by the user to be searched? Code:

Logging A User Out When They Leave Your Website...
I have been recently trying to implement a member interaction into my database. Right now I have it so they log in and it sets a column named "Logged_In" to "Yes" for their username, I can't seem to figure out how to Log them out when they leave. I tried to use the onUnload event in the body tag and popup a quick popup (which I didn't really want to do but only thing I could think of). But that will pop up a window every time you go to a differant URL (on the same domain). I'm mostly wondering if there is a way to have session, and detect if it expires. And when it does then update the database to set that column to = "No", or whatever, if so, how would I go about doing this. Or anyone know of a better way, and have some experience with anything like this?

Track The Time A User Is On A Website
What we're to be doing is implementing a referral type program on the site. Assume the following, Person A refers Person B to the site, it's stored in the database that Person B's referrer is Person A. So then, for each second Person B is on the site, we add one point to Person A's referral points (also set in the database). How can we track the user accurate enough (to the seconds) so that once Person B leaves the site, we know exactly when Person B closed the browser/went somewhere else, how long Person B was on the site, and simply use that info to give Person A his deserved referral points. We have access to our php.ini file for w/e reason, we've got database access, we can basically do anything w/ php, and such. Any ideas on how to do this? My only idea at the moment was to check every 5 minutes who was active in the past 5 minutes, and clear anyone who wasn't, but that didn't seem accurate.

PHP Dating Script
Been looking for a good PHP based dating script that is reasonably priced for a while. Several come close but are unfinished. I've already been burned by scripts almost done and then a complete breach of contract where the author dumps the site, no word to the purchasers, and then starts selling it elsewhere under a different domain (hello Ronald James aka RJ selling "Matchmaker Pro" -- don't by it -- it's copy protected too -- you'll be sorry if you invest anything even in the basic) Promises, etc. I'm thinking that a very good dating script should be able to be purchased for $200-500. You can get excellent content management systems, vbulletin, and a whole lot of other scripts which provide many more features than your basic dating script for a whole lot less. I've seen promises of a great script for $1,600 because you don't have to hire your own programmer -- yes, and I don't want to pay that much for a script everyone else has on their site too which is part of the economy of scale. Ridiculous. Another one is being sold at $700, still way too much. None of these places have been able to point me to people that actually paid for these scripts and are running even half successful web sites. Always themselves under different names and domains. My guess is whomever makes a reasonably good dating script and sells it for $300 will be raking it in. I will not touch the scripts that cost 300+ that require zend optimizer since this leaves the purchaser in hell when you discover bugs or company disappears and it's money thrown out the window. It has happened way too often before.

Changing Unix User Passwords On Website
I'm a new user of PHP and MySQL, already making progress in a very short time and astonished at how totally cool it all is. As always when I learn new stuff I'm jumping in to the deep end--or at least it seems like the deep end to me. Basically what I want to do is allow people who have the right to log onto the unix machine to be able to logon to my website with thier unix usernames and passwords and then change their passwords on the site. I'm seeing tutorials etc on authentication/tracking, well and good, but it's usually with a database, cookies, flat files, .htpasswd files etc. These I can manage. What I would like is some advice on how to do that. How do you use PHP to log onto a UNIX system and change the password via a database? What should I look for? Where do I start? I'm not at all averse to figuring out how to tie things together myself, but it would be nice to hear what to do and what not to do from experienced folks who've done it--things to watch out for etc...

Creating A User Generated Content Website
I'm planning to create a community site (in PHP and MySQL) where people can post some sort of helpful information. I want to include features that would allow people to rate this information and post comments about it. I would also like to make this information searchable, so I want to include tags. To help you understand it better, the website is sort of like digg.com or engadget.com or any other website that have content and comments on it. Sort of like a blog site. I already finished creating the login system. Now I need to work on the content posting system. I already thought about the SQL table to store this content. Here's what I have so far: ContentID, User, Title, ContentText, DatePosted, NumOfComments, Rating, Tags For the comments, I would assume the SQL table would look like this: ContentID, User, CommentNumber, CommentText Now, am I on the right track here? This is my first time creating something like this. Are there free scripts out there that does the same thing?

Tracking User Time On Website During Session
I am trying to write a tracking system to record the amount of time a user is logged in and actively doing stuff on a website. Are there any articles on how to do this? I just can't think of a good way to go about this. I was going to record the start of there session and update the current time on each page they visit and subtract the session start time from the current time but if they leave the website for an hour and come back on the same session it would update an hour. I also tried to verify the referer to see if they came from the website in question but that doesn't work because the referer isn't always set. Any ideas on how to go about this in the most accurate way?

Up Dating Football Tables
I want to have a table showing Football (Soccer) league from the premiership league. e.g. Position--Team--Pld--Won--Drawn--Lost--For--Against--Points 1 --Chel-- 9 -- 7 -- 1 -- 1 --21 -- 5 -- 22 And so on. The way i want to update this is through a custom CMS. However, i don't just want to make changes to the league, i want to fill out the result of the game e.g. chelsea 2 - 1 sunderland and that will then automatically correct the league, e.g. give chelsea 3 pts for winning, adding a win, adding 2 goals to the 'For' section and 1 for the 'Against' section. Then is the position of the team changes, alter this. Can someone point me in the right direction to get started. Is this even possible? How many db Tables will i need? i imagine it would be 2 tables, one for the results and one for the league table. How would i automatically run the update once the results have been filled out?

Personal Greeting W/cookies And PHP
I would like to create a form that will create a cookie that will greet customers to my web site using their first name (which they will submit using the form). So whenever, say a customer named Matt visited my home page it will say something like "Welcome Matt! Thanks for visiting." I have scripts that do the trick with JavaScript, but if it's possible I prefer PHP4. The JavaScript also doesn't let people log-in if a cookie is not found. I would like to setup a personal greeting similar to amazon or cdnow. Can anyone help?

PHP 4 And MS Personal Web Server Installation
Just got the book "Beginning PHP4", and I'm trying to follow the instructions just as they are written. After going through the directions (installing PWS, installing PHP, allowing PWS to see php files) the book says to test that everything is working correctly by adding a file to my root directory and accessing it through URL The file, phpinfo.php, consists of: <? phpinfo();?> When I access this page, I'm supposed to see information such as "System, Build Date, Server API" in a table. All I see, however, is the code <? phpinfo();?> Is PHP supposed to be associated with a certain program? As of now, .php files are not associated with anything on my system.

Defining Personal Upload_tmp_dir..?
We have a client who is providing Web Hosting Solutions to customers. One of the latest requirements is to enable PHP Scripting on the Hosting Servers. We are using PHP v4.4.0, but are running in an issue with File Uploads. In PHP.ini file there is a config for temporary folder for uploaded file. However, we dont want it to be pointing to a folder on the web server itself rather we want customers to define one in their own workspace (NAS share). Questions: 1. Is it possible using scripts to define a personal upload_temp_dir? If yes, how? 2. How PHP Parser works in above case (meaning will it performs usual cleanup)? 3. Can same be done for Session.SavePath? We are using Win2k3 Web Edition with SP1.

Adding A Personal Code Library?
I have developed some functions for my site that I find myself reusing quite a bit. Up to now, I have copied and pasted these functions into each page. But surely there is some way to create a personal code library. I've even seen reference by others on the boards who have mentioned their personal library. How do I create one? Is it just a php file? like my_lib.php? Can I simply include this file in my code... include('my_lib.php'); How do I think call functions from it?

Myspace Script
I am sure people have asked similar questions before and quite often I am sure beaty is in the eye of the beholder in these situations, But I have been reading around about CMS systems as I would like to use one to base a site on. I am currently unsure which is the best for my needs or if I really need one at all. I do not want to make a copy of myspace but was wondering if they used anysort of CMS system as the core of there system and if they do is it any good? I am a web designer and use php/mysql to build sites currently, both simple and complex, what I suppose I am looking for is a system that I can quickly install and set up for both types of site which I can learn to make life easier in the future.

MySpace URL Re-writing?
I just noticed on mySpace.com each user get their own kind of virtual directory. For example if you type www.myspace.com/nodoubt it goes to one profile or if you typw www.myspace.com/blackout it goes to another. How do they do this? I want so www.mydomain.com/name1 would point to www.mydomain.com/profile.php?id=1 or www.mydomain.com/name2 would point to www.mydomain.com/profile.php?id=2 How can I do that? also if you go to www.clubzone.com you'll notice that each member or gallery has their own .html file. Does this mean they create an html file for all their 300,000 users and 100,000 galleries?

Myspace Like Blog Site
myspace has been the fastest growing website online the past few months (for anyone who's been sitting in the dark lately). I've been trying to come up with an idea for a website that would be very successful. I've managed schematicsforfree.com for the past few years and that has become very successful from the start, and could afford to hire help if needed. my idea is to create yet another blog community website like myspace, but of course it would be much bigger and better and more fun for guests. I'd like to use my ProSiteManager cms as a base and write modules for it to run the free community site. if anyone is interested, please shoot me an email or contact me on msn messenger. there's plenty of work to be done and plenty of money on the internet to be made....

Personalized Urls Like Myspace
