I'm adding a registration script for this members login area and I want to give the user an option to opt-in or out of recieving further contact upon sign up.
I know how to add the buttons, thats just simple html, but I do not know how to make it write a simple yes or no to the database so that when I find the details I can see who wants further contact or not.
I thought it might be easier that if NO was selected i could make a "simple"
if $no == true, then do not write emailaddy to db
but I got stuck on that too!
heres what I have:
<? session_start() ?>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Register</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H2>Register</H2>
<?
// check to see if these two variables have been passed from
// the HTML form at the foot of this script (which calls this page again)
if ($user && $pass) {
// connect to database and select the 'userlist' database
$db = mysql_connect('localhost', 'nowdes1a_login', 'login');
mysql_select_db("nowdes1a_userlist", $db);
// check to see if username is already on the database
$result = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = '".$user."'");
if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) {
// if it's not, add the new details to the database
$result = mysql_query ("INSERT INTO users (name, password, firstname, lastname, email, tel, address1, address2, pcode, county) VALUES
('".$user."', PASSWORD('".$pass."'),'".$name1."','".$name2."','".$emailaddy."','".$phonenum."','".$add1."','".$add2."','".$pcode1."','".$county1."')");
if ($result) {
// if successful, log in the user and show a welcome message
// then exit the script
$logged_in_user = $user;
session_register("logged_in_user");
echo "Your details have been added to the database, ".$user."<BR><BR>";
echo "<A HREF='main.php'>Click here to proceed to the main page.</A><BR><BR>";
echo "<A HREF='logout.php'>Click here to log out.</A>";
exit;
} else {
// if the details could not be added for some reason,
// show an error message
echo "Sorry, there has been a technical hitch. We cannot enter your details.";
exit;
}
} else {
// if the details were already on the database, let the user try again
echo "Sorry, that username has been taken. Please try another.<BR>";
}
} else if ($user || $pass) {
// if the user has filled in one field but not the other,
// throw up this error
echo "Please fill in all fields.";
}
// show HTML form as follows
?>
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="register.php">
<p>Please enter a username:
