Automating the process of creating pages for every new user

[Navaldesign]

Well, a simple way to create a user specific page from a template page would be to use file_get_contents() , which reads the page code, and then use str_replace () to replace a specific text (i.e. ##username##) with the value of $username, then write the entire code using the $newpage.

However, this is meaningless: what i mean is that if the pages are to be the same, why should one redirect each user to his own page ?
If, instead, the pages are different, then actually there is a meaning in using separate pages for each user, but this method is not applicable anymore.

In my professional scripts I do use only 1 page, but the page content is dynamically retrieved from the info that is stored either in a database or in a file, so actually each user sees content that is related to him only.

Hi Navaldesign,
I am quite happy you guys are discussing this. I was about starting a forum to explain creating a dynamic page per user like you'd have in a social network or online banking site etc. when I came across this.

Can you kindly explain here as you said "In my professional scripts I do use only 1 page, but the page content is dynamically retrieved from the info that is stored either in a database or in a file, so actually each user sees content that is related to him only."

This will be most appreciated.

Regards,

Alex.

I use a template that contains PHP code that uses variables like $username, $firstname, $lastname, etc.

When the page is displayed, these get the actual values for the specific user that come from the database.

To build such a page you need to have extended kowledge of PHP and MySQL.

Greetings dear Navaldesign
I have read your post on creating an automated new user page for every registered user wanting to access their own page, and this is my challenge right now.
I have an average knowledge of mysql database and forms; please, will you kindly give me a tutorial on this subject, and provide demo download to ease my burden?

Thanks a million!

I'm sorry, I don't have a template.

However this post is very old. You can simply use the DBTS login extensions, and create the template as explained above,
