Hi guys, I am in need of a simple friends list code. I don't know how to start it, but I have gotten an idea, maybe anyone of you can help?

I have setup a database with login and password, I want to also add a Friends column. I will setup a "Profile page" soon, and from there I want a button to add that person. It simply puts the name of the person in the Friends column and adds a comma.

When reading the column it should go to a next line as soon as it sees a comma, thus separating the friends.

Any help? Or if you have a simple friends script that works and you would be generous enough to let me use it, that would be great.

You would need a SELECT statement in SQL to do this, the same way you inserted all of your friends to the database just ... of course you will need to change the names based on your table structure.

I just accomplished this but with the guy above has the right idea it's all about mysql queries and narrow them down which takes time to do but worth it at the end!

I don't think anyone will share the source but then again you might just find one person who is lovely that wants to give you a piece of cake. Good luck with it, sorry this reply hasn't been useful but hope it sheds some light on the idea Got any questions I'll be gladly to help you.

you can Also do like this
1.create a separate table call it friends with fields ,friend and username.
2.when someone is logged in and wants to add A friend he inserts
two rows.
when displaying friends list
just like this
Dont forget to include the friendsRequest table to insure that u just add someone u wish to be ur friend.

WRT your original idea, I'd advise against having a comma separated list in your friends column. This would make it difficult to search friends. You need a dedicated friends table:

friend_id (autonumber/int)
user_id (int : foreign key on user_id in user table)
friend_id (int : foreign key on user_id in user table)
status (tinyint : e.g. 0 = not accepted yet, 1= accepted, 2 = declined)

This should work with an invitation to be a friend system. Or if you just want to add (like Daniweb's system), no need for status column.

Thank you for the replys guys, it has given me an idea to work around with. I'll try it out and see if it works.

Though I am wondering how to send the confirm message to the certain person.
