im new to php and i really have no idea how to do what i want to do, so hopefully you can help me
im doing a messaging system and i watch all your private messaging system tutorials but i need to do something different which was not in them.
basically i have users and conferences ... the users can be organizers or authors or reviewers but they are not represented in tables seperately; this means that there is only tables for conferences-users-privileges-messages
the priveleges table describes which user is a reviewer, author, or organizer.
as a conference organizer i should be able to choose the conference i want (via a dropdown list which ive already created) then when i choose the conference a list of all the reviewers and authors should be available infront of me.
then i should choose from these lists whomever i want to be added to the "To: " field in the message.
i wanted to show you part of the code but i honestly have no idea which part should i show you
sorry for including to much info about this but i need to finish that in 4 days and i cant find any hints on the internet to help with that part
Messaging problem
Re: Messaging problem
Okay, well it sounds like you pretty much want a private messaging system so I would start with that.
Then it sounds like you want to have some restrictions on who can talk to who ? If so you can add a few checks to the form checking to make sure the people in the to list are all part of the conference.
The other things like showing the list of users are just selecting stuff from the tables so the first page would show a list of conferences each linked to a second page with their ID in the URL that can then be used to show a list of users or even just put them in the to box.
I think the best way to go would be to start by getting the PM system from the videos working well and then try to think of the few changes that need to be made to get it to be the system you want.

Re: Messaging problem
You should be able to do it :s It's just PHP code.
What is the problem exactly ?

Re: Messaging problem
i cant run the code as a whole
i have to run each php file on its own
when i run the index file or init file alone i get nothing
if i run the private_message.php i get
{
Notice: Undefined variable: _SESSION in C:\xampp\htdocs\MessagingSystem\private_message.inc.php on line 26
Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\xampp\htdocs\MessagingSystem\private_message.inc.php on line 37
}
and when i run the new_conversation page all the error checks work and if i eneter a valid username subject and body and click send i get
{
Notice: Undefined variable: usernames in C:\xampp\htdocs\MessagingSystem\new_conversation.page.inc.php on line 21
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in C:\xampp\htdocs\MessagingSystem\new_conversation.page.inc.php on line 21
Fatal error: Call to undefined function fetch_user_ids() in C:\xampp\htdocs\MessagingSystem\new_conversation.page.inc.php on line 26
}
i have no i dea what to do :S
you said in part 02 i guess that i can include each file manually in the init file instead of doing what you were doing, how can i do that??

include('folder/file.php');Do that for each file you want to include.
If you want to, you can post your code here using
[syntax=php][/syntax]. We could take a look at it and give you some feedback.

Re: Messaging problem
i guess that will work too but i decided to start a new simpler one
int this one i choose a conference (the list of choices include only the conferences the user is organizing) and his choice outputs a table that shows all the authors and the reviewers for this conference.
this list of authors and reviewers have checkboxes beside them and i have to select from them which ones i want to send a message to .... basically i got most of it covered but im having problems actually sending the message to these people
i copy pasted my code but if its hard to view just let me know if i can send it to someone's email to view it properly and help me out
i have 2 php file ... first one is where the users chooses a conference and the second is where the user chooses who recieves the message and another one that include the sending part
and again sorry for all the code i pasted
chooseconference.php
