I need your input!

dear readers/coders,

I need to make a webpage, where users can log in with their own password (own account) and in the contents, they can make 'marks' on items (the items will then show 'marked' ,preferrably a change of picture) and when the user logs in again, only he (that account) will see the items which he had marked...

How could I achieve this? please help by suggesting a sample script
(a script that I can think of is a shopping cart script, where buyers can click on 2 or more items for comparison.. and when the item is clicked, the picture of the item (or another picture) will show that it has been chosen, the choices can also be saved for later visits.)

can I find any similar scripts anywhere online?.😕

thanks a lot in advance

I'm a coding dummy, but I'm really trying to learn, and so far, phpbuilder and it's forum goers have been most helpful.🙂

I hope you now how to use a database, because that would make things easier 🙂

<?php
$username = $HTTP_POST_VARS['username'];
$pass = $HTTP_POST_VARS['password'];

$inf_s = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE Username = '".$username.'");

if ( mysql_num_rows($inf_s) > 0 )
{
	$inf = mysql_fetch_array($inf_s);
	if ( $pass == $inf['password'] )
	{
		echo "logged in :)";
		load_marks($inf['username']);
	}
	else
	{
		echo "You have entered an invalid password";
	}
}
else
{
echo "Sorry, no such username found in database
}


function load_marks($username) {
$mark_s = mysql_fetch_array("SELECT * FROM marks WHERE Username = '".$username.'");

// You have to create this on your own, cause I'm running out of time ;)

}

?>

Now make a form where people can select the things they want to mark, and update the database with those values.

thanks, but that's just for user name and password, not exactly what I need...

still, does anyone else know sample scripts that do similar functions that I need? preferrably those complete working scripts that can be found in hotscripts.com.

thanks.

another example is like a news page that uses php /sql. there will be pieces of news to be read on the content pages, and when the users are not registered, they can view the news, but can't mark whether they have already viewed each pieces of news, but if they are registered and logged in, they can click on a picture that marks that piece of news, then that picture will change and indicate that the piece of news is already read (it will show the same as long as the user logs in with that account, so cookies wont work, it'll have to use a database). the users can also write down comments/ notes for his own purposes under each pieces of news, so only that account can see the comments/notes.
