Adding $usr.php

[Kudose]

How would I go about, in my registrtation script, adding a part where when they sign up, it automatically creates a file called (whatevertheusername).php for profile purposes. Here is my current sign up script:

<?

if($username=='' || $fname=='' || $lname=='' || $email=='' || $city=='' || $state=='' || $age=='' || $password=='' || $eula=='no'){

include('emptyfield.php');

} elseif($password!=$password2){

include('nomatchpasswords.php');

} else {

mysql_connect('localhost', 'XXXXX', 'XXXXX') or die('Could not connect to MySQL because:'.mysql_error());
mysql_select_db('DB_XXXXXX') or die("Error connecting to DB because:".mysql_error());
mysql_query("INSERT INTO users (username, password, fname, lname, age, email, city, state)
VALUES ('$username', '$password', '$fname', '$lname', '$age', '$email', '$city', '$state')");

include('accountsuccess.php');

} ?>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

$user= "joe";
touch($user.".php");

and to delete a file try this

$user= "joe";
unlink($user.".php");

I am rather new to this, and dont understand what your saying. Could you be a little bit more descisive? So I add that somewhere in there, and it will create a file called $username.php? I have no problems making the link to the page, just getting the page to auto create upon sign up.

Thanks

what ever the username is, how ever you want to obtain it and post it as a varibale for example from a cookie...

Cookie with a value of Joe

$user = $_COOKIE["test"][0];
touch($user.".php");  // This will create a file with what ever the value of $user.. so it will be $user.php replaceing the $user with the varible..

so this will create a file called joe.php

or if you want to create the file from a form just get the name of the form field that has the username and pass it to the touch() function.

mysql_connect('localhost', 'XXXXX', 'XXXXX') or die('Could not connect to MySQL because:'.mysql_error());
mysql_select_db('DB_XXXXXX') or die("Error connecting to DB because:".mysql_error());

include('accountsuccess.php');

// Create the username php file
touch($username.".php");
} ?>

I don't like to assume many things in life, so before I spend a bunch of time trying this out, maybe you could tell me if it would actually work.

If I am reading this thread correctly, I could use this to create files with other extensions also, i.e. .txt or .inc

Can this also be used in any way to create a folder / directory for each member named with their username? Then placing an index.php or index.html file in the folder that would contain a their member info..

What that would accomplish if it can be done, is to provide a means to create personalized websites automatically for each member with a URL that didn't necessitate the use of appended variables.

http://www.website.com/username/

instead of

http://www.website.com?variable=username

I hope the question makes sense..

I'm just looking for a more visually appealing way to do what I'm already doing with the variable appended, and still have it auomated.

thanks

Ran into this error when using your method...I dont think it is becuase of what you showed me though:

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /users/ionichost.com/kcnites/create.php on line 16

with this script:

<?

if($username=='' || $fname=='' || $lname=='' || $email=='' || $city=='' || $state=='' || $age=='' || $password=='' || $eula=='no'){

include('emptyfield.php');

} elseif($password!=$password2){

include('nomatchpasswords.php');

} else {

mysql_connect('localhost', 'XXXXXX', 'XXXXXX') or die('Could not connect to MySQL because:'.mysql_error());
mysql_select_db('DB_nac1362') or die("Error connecting to DB because:".mysql_error());
$query="SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username'";
$rows = mysql_num_rows($query);THIS IS LINE 16
if($rows > "0"){
include('nametaken.php');
} else {
mysql_query("INSERT INTO users (username, password, fname, lname, age, email, city, state)
VALUES ('$username', '$password', '$fname', '$lname', '$age', '$email', '$city', '$state')");

include('accountsuccess.php');

touch($username.".php");

}} ?>

Even with the error it displays the account created script and posts to the DB which I think is odd. Any help?

Also to change the file creation directory would it look like this?

touch("/profile/".$username.".php");

[DigitalExpl0it]

first off try this.. look at my changes

<?
// Database Conenction String ------Start------
	$connect = mysql_connect('localhost', 'XXXXXX', 'XXXXXX') or
		die ("<b><center>".mysql_errno().": ".mysql_error()."</b></center>\n");
	$db = mysql_select_db('DB_nac1362', $connect) or
		die ("<b><center>".mysql_errno().": ".mysql_error()."</b></center>\n");
// Database Conenction String ------End------

if($username=="" || $fname=="" || $lname=="" || $email=="" || $city=="" || $state=="" || $age=="" || $password=="" || $eula=="no"){
	include('emptyfield.php');
} elseif ($password!=$password2) {
	include('nomatchpasswords.php');
} else {
// Start first SQL Statement
	$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username'";
	$sql_result = mysql_query($sql, $connect) or
		die ("<b><center>".mysql_errno().": ".mysql_error()."</b></center>\n");
	$rows = mysql_num_rows($sql_result);

	if($rows > "0"){
		include('nametaken.php');
	} else {
	// Start Second SQL Statement
		mysql_query("INSERT INTO users (username, password, fname, lname, age, email, city, state)
		VALUES ('$username', '$password', '$fname', '$lname', '$age', '$email', '$city', '$state')");

		include('accountsuccess.php');
		touch($username.".php");
	}
}
mysql_close($connect);
?>

second: you will need to make a script that will create a directory with the users name touch(); only creates a file

[DigitalExpl0it]

this is for a unix/linux system but ez to modify for windows.. this will create a folder and or subfolders if needed automaticly.

<?
//Check path if not there then create the folder
function mkpath($path,$mode = 0700) { 
 $dirs = explode("/",realpath($path)); 
$path = $dirs[0]; 
 for($i = 1;$i < count($dirs);$i++) { 
  $path .= "/".$dirs[$i]; 
   if(!is_dir($path)) 
    mkdir($path,$mode); 
   } 
} 
//Enter in directory name and or path here for function
mkpath("/home/".$username);
?>

for windows

<?
//Check path if not there then create the folder
function mkpath($path,$mode = 0700) { 
 $dirs = explode("\\",realpath($path)); 
$path = $dirs[0]; 
 for($i = 1;$i < count($dirs);$i++) { 
  $path .= "\\".$dirs[$i]; 
   if(!is_dir($path)) 
    mkdir($path,$mode); 
   } 
} 
//Enter in directory name and or path here for function
mkpath("c:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\test\\".$username);
?>

then after you have gotten the mkdir function working after it creates the diretory just use the touch function.

with the mkdir variable you used
