Setting the login to only allow them access to their file, and then setting up the form shouldn't be too difficult.</p> <p><a href="http://www.sitepoint.com/books/" class="bb-url">sitepoint.com/books/</a> -- both the set and the beginner php books are really invaluable references along with mysql.com and php.net for learning this stuff.</p> <p>Plan it first, work out the functions and the pages (wireframe) and then go one step at a time, you'll do fine.</p> Fri, 14 May 2004 18:40:41 +0000 Suzanne comment 1151443 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
