I just installed the first VB forum that I own yesterday (www.mysportsforum.com) and this tutorial is DA BOMB baby!

Thanks everybody!

Look for the "Visual Quick Start to PHP" for the easiest quick start. I found it extremely simple to catch on using that book.

You will probably grow out of it quickly, but it will give you the...

not to be a jerk... but I am trying to help you, and I have helped you solve two programming problems since yesterday, and I see in my control panel that you gave me a negative reputation thing. ...

If you are doing a comparison you need to use "==" instead of "="

if ($results = $usr_name)

I understand that Killer_Typo. PHP and MySQL both spit out error messages when you have an error. That makes debugging buggy code easier. That's why I showed you how to echo a mysql error after...

If you don't post the errors and the code we can't help. There are too may things that could possibly hose your script up.

You also may want to check your MAX_FILE_UPLOAD size in your php.ini file.

If there is...

You can set a cookie if your user will leave the site (probably will for a monent if paypal is being used) or you can use a session if all pages reside on your server.
