Hello, I am trying to create a membership site and I've googled all kinds of stuff. I have created a website before, but not a member site. I am new to all of this. I can figure out how to create the member site and add the log in/log out stuff and allow access to only certain pages. That's not the problem. What I want is for each person to have their own personal page where they can add their own pictures and listings (its a website to showcase modified cars) as well as add favorites and contact other members. Can somebody please help me out, it would be greatly appreciated.

Well if you are still curious into how to do this, I will be more than happy to help you code this.. Although a project that is as big as yours (not entirely a HUGE project, but its not a quick 10 minute script) I would require something in return :P..

Contact me if you have any questions or would like to take me up on my offer.

Thanks

ShimmyShine is right, this could be a pretty involved project, although paying someone to do it for you doesnt need to be the option.

An easy way of doing what you are trying to do is create one template page "userpage.php" and then a database that goes with that page. Then when a user creates a new page just add a new row to the database and let them fill out the information that they want. So you would have columns like: id;username;pass;birthday;favcar;pics

Then when someone views that users website you just call the row from the database with the coresponding idnum. As far as the pictures go, if I were you I would make the users host the pictures elsewhere for simplicity and because it will probably make your site a good deal cheaper to host. Then in the pics column of the database just have the link to the pic, if they have a bunch just seperate it by ";" and you can create some simple code to break up the URLs and display the pic however you want.

If you want to see an example of this basic idea, I do it on my one site. Im still new at coding too so there might be a better way but this has worked for me.

If from there you click on a movie title it will take you to the next page and display the movie. All of that information is just in a database. If you click on a movie it takes you to a page called mdisplay.php and in the URL you will see "gid", that corresponds to the id number.

Anyways hope that helps a bit.

If you are still learning I found that the site w3schools.com is a great place to start.

There are also other alternatives as well. You could possibly attempt to learn CakePHP (cakephp.org). That is a very smart idea considering the fact that it has a very good security system, and it is pretty user friendly once learned how to use it. I suggest you use CakePHP (cakephp.org). Doing just the basics of of normal coding, will open it up to good or back hackers, and thats always a bad thing.

CakePHP (cakephp.org) has tutorials and documentation to teach people how to use it.
