Starting video's view count: ~400, 000
Last video's view count : ~1, 500. That just goes to show how well people can stick with something. Congratz to everyone who stuck it out. I know I did... (I had to rewatch almost 5 times to fully understand the material) and it was absolutely worth it 110%. Thanks Alex, you're both a gentleman and a scholar! :D

You might also want to check for a profile image and delete it if it exists when a user uploads a new one.

I really like these register and login tutorials, I can't wait to see what new tutorials will come along.

Finally, the end of the series XD Whoww! Btw, thanks alex for creating this videos. It help us understand PHP a lot better :D

46 videos later (one seems to be deleted) I have a better understanding of PHP. I had no idea what PHP was before this and thanks to your detailed explanations, I have a way better understanding. Thank You.

Finished this from start to finish and everything works like butter. Thanks for all the hard work, Alex. There were problems along the way, but they forced me to really get involved in the coding process and served me well...Quote: Smooth Seas do not make for Skilled Sailors.

I will be customizing the CSS and adding additional features, but this is a great foundation to build from. Thanks again. I subscribed and love your new CSS3 videos.

Thank you Alex if your still out there on youtube. I'm proud of myself that this is the first time I stuck it out. Typed it all straight from the videos. In the beginning I despaired that there was no source code. But I actually learned more from typing it all up myself :) Cheers!

To delete old pic:
in loggedin.php => before executing function add
$old_file_path = $user_data['profile'];
change_profile_image($session_user_id, $file_temp, $file_extn, $old_file_path);

in users.php =>
function change_profile_image($user_id, $file_temp, $file_extn, $old_file_path) {
...
move_uploaded_file($file_temp, $file_path);
if (file_exists($old_file_path) === true) {
unlink($old_file_path);
}
mysql_query("UPDATE
}

Nice tutorial!

Thx,
Alex!

woohoo in a stroke of inspiration i decided to check the server side properties of the profile folder and discovered the permissions were off !! turned them on and YAY it works now. now to add the above code to remove old pics and i'm sweet!

[natebrooks]

If someone changes their profile picture, how would you go about automatically deleting the old picture? The images folder could get pretty bloated

Hey Alex, I was just wondering how you would go about applying the profile image uploader to the settings page. I keep running into the issue of there being two submit buttons on the same page. One to update the general information of the first name, last name, etc, and the other button is used to upload the image. Do I use two forms or one?
