User directories

VenatusDev — Tue, 23 Jul 2019 12:34:20 +0000

Hello! My friend and I have been making a website and recently we created an account system where you can view other peoples accounts and follow them. You can view an account by going to venatus.club/account?u=USERNAME but we were wondering if there is a way to use venatus.club/USERNAME to redirect instead if that makes sense. Would we have to create a directory with just a header tag whenever you create an account? Thank you for any help.

So far, I have learn HTML, some CSS and JS, and a good understanding of PHP. I feel like I need to learn some more complex languages, like C or Java, but I have no idea which to choose. Any tips?

Hello!

So I've started learning how to use PHP and SQL with my friend earlier this year, and really want to create a forum system. The thing is, all my ideas that I have thought of seem stupidly over-complicated and unnecessary. Is there any online tutorials that could help me? Thanks!

So me and my friend are making an RPG website for fun and we've run into a problem. We suck at PHP. We are so bad that we dont even know how to pull out one value from an SQL query. Please can someone help us get the 'name' value from this SQL query in PHP7. Thanks!

<?PHP
session_start();
$email = $_POST['email'];
$password = sha1($_POST['password']);

$con = mysqli_connect('CENSORED','CENSORED','CENSORED');
mysqli_select_db($con, "BATTLE");

$q = "SELECT * FROM players WHERE email == '$email'";
$result = mysqli_query($con, $q);
$num = mysqli_num_rows($result);
if($num == 0){
$_SESSION['email'] = $email;
// GET THE NAME!!
}
?>
