checking if form already exists

Hoangsta

Hello All! 😃

I'm trying to explain this complex problem. :eek:

A use logs in for the first time. The database is checking within the login script that this user has not fill out a registration form yet. So it will direct the user to say....FORM A. After that user fill out FORM A, it will direct the user to index.php. User decides to leave the site.

When that same user logs in, the database will notice that, hey...Johnnie boy filled out FORM A already, let's show him the main page, index.php instead.

Is that too complex to explain? if you have any type of reference on how I can achieve this, I'll be happy 😃

So for, I got FORM A to redirect to index.php. I cannot get the login to check rather a user has completed FORM A or not...it keeps letting new logins seeing the index.php page everytime.

Hallo,

what you like to do is standard work. Use one of this nice articles here on phpbuilder.com.

If I understand this correctly, it is not that complex of a problem--

once the user logs in, you have a username you can use to pull their information from the DB--something along hte lines of "select FormAResults from table where username='$username' "

if result=0 ie. there are no rows returned, then you show the user the Form A page. If rows are returned, then you know that the user has al ready filled out Form A, and you direct them instead to index.

Alof, the link for reference is not shoing up...

I also posted my codes in another url here:

http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?threadid=10256146

if ($LOGGED_IN = user_isloggedin()) { 
  user_logout(); 
  $_COOKIE['user_name'] = ''; 
  unset($LOGGED_IN); 
}
if ($_POST['submit'] == 'Login') { 
  if (strlen($_POST['user_name']) <= 25 && strlen($_POST['password']) <=25) { 
    $feedback = user_login(); 
  } else { 
    $feedback = 'ERROR - Username and password are too long'; 
  } 

  $query = "SELECT bus_confirmed 
          FROM BusinessName 
          WHERE bus_confirmed = 1";  
$result = mysql_query($query);  


  if ($feedback == 1) && ($result && mysql_num_rows($result) > 1) {     

// Register the input with the value 
$_SESSION['user_name'] = $_POST['user_name']; 
session_register("authr_user_name"); 
$authr_user_name = $_POST['user_name']; 
    // On successful login, redirect to homepage 
    header("Location: index.php "); 

  } else { 
      header("Location: A"); 

  } else { 
    $feedback_str = "<P class=\"errormess\">$feedback</P>"; 
  } 
} else { 
  $feedback_str = ''; 
}

I modified the code so many times, and I'm just lost and don't know where to go...there were comments made to my code on the url that I supplied.
