Post by Ratee »

I need help with the profile tutorial... i don't get any errors. but when i try to edit the users information it does not update. (registers into the database) also when i go onto edit_profile.php the users information is not shown in the boxes... could someone please take the time to help me figure this problem out... i have a different database setup to the one shown in the tutorial so i will also post my database setup below along with all the other files. thanks for your help in advance.

my database setup
database table: tut_users
and in that table i have...

1.id
2.usr
3.pass
4.email
5.ip
6.dt
7.firstname
8.lastname
9.about
10.locaion
11.gender

init.inc.php

$users[] = $row;
}
return $users;

}

function fetch_user_info($uid){
$uid = (int)$uid;
$sql = "SELECT
			`usr` AS `username`,

Your UPDATE might be failing for some reason. Try adding
echo mysql_error();
after the query in the set_profile_info function.
