I was able to do your login/signup system with just a few mistakes and then I rushed through your command lines on this one and had all kinds of errors lol. I was a little frustrated at first and stomped, but I eventually caught all my mistakes. I actually learn more by messing up the code then doing it right, haha. It forces me to learn to read the code and learn how the errors correlate with my syntax mistakes. It also forces me to experiment to validate how far the code is actually processing correctly.

Thanks Daniel, your tutorials are very informative with your explanations. Keep them coming. :)

Thanks so much Dani, you are an amazing teacher.
Interestingly concepts from your teachings have been so helpful in preferring solutions to some of my projects, sometimes unrelated to the tutorial.
Keep up the good work sir!

So nice of you for teaching us all these about php. Please guide how can i launch mob camera in feed back form.. Like there will be a feedback form with submit option and capture image option.. The capture image option should turns on the mobile camera and take the picture, save it in sql data base and send along with the form when clicked on submit button.

WOW Man was this one ever the bees knees.. I had a 3 day time (I'm legit a beginner just started coding php last week thanks to you) figuring out how not only to mash this into the previous episode but also your large 2 hour login system video which idk on your upload schedule but it seems like it was a reupload and came years after this lol.. good fight though I STILL dont have the idea 100% at this time but I'm PRETTY sure I know where to go from here and this video has helped me as far as it can so thank you so much Daniel you are awesome brother.


If anyone's having problems with this still let me see if I can point you in the right direction with issues I faced: FIRST let me disclose i tossed away his second table profileimg all together and used the previous login database which in that other video he called "users" which already had 4 categories idUsers uidUsers then email and pass but those two are the important ones.


so first I added a column to my table called status just like his: int (11) not null etc


issues I faced were not paying attention to when I was supposed to be SELECTING from the number column or the name column.. you have to follow this video exactly and anywhere he writes ANYTHING with an id first its always referenceing the number one in my case was idUsers.


likewise anything he writes with a username for me was uidUsers


Dont be a hero and write your own attachments or improvements if your a beginner like me .. you dont know the jack you think you do lmao big tip here wasted a lot of hours like "man i know whats going on here so what if i..." yeah dont lol


I ran into an issue where i accidently called my default profile image "profiledefault.jpg" lmao it kept showing up as a blank square instead of the image and glancing over the comments i might have been the only dummy on this one lol. I was essentially looking for something called "profiledefault.jpg.jpg" unintentionally.


Lastly I have completely different login and signup systems .. if you have one like me you can circumvent that entire signup segment in here by just simply adding a parameter to your signup.php or whatever you call it in the INSERT INTO section youd already have and add a VALUE to it of 1 in my case hed used several questionmarks mine looks like this now:
INSERT INTO users (uidUsers, emailUsers, pwdUsers, status) VALUES (?, ?, ?, 1)
thus rendering all this:


$sql= "SELECT * FROM users WHERE uidUsers='$username'";
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
if (mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0){
while ($row =
$username = $row['uidUsers'];
$sql = "INSERT_INTO users (status)
VALUES (1)";
mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
}
}
Useless... (note the types of changes i had to make from his original code and you could easily do this also)


but make sure you look in your login system and be mindful that your _SESSION ids are set correctly i was trying to use stuff like idUsers and my uidUsers in places i should have had my actual _SESSION id's .. Which as a quick example are $_SESSION['userId'] = $row['idUsers']; so i had to go back and find anywhere he referenced his first table which i diddnt have as either just "id" or "username" or anything like that and make sure i had the right ones.. using one table it actually streamlines the process cutting out a lot of EXTRA stuff.


Hopefully this helps anyone lol I wish someone would answer some of the questions in these comments much more when they figure them out haha .. oh well help where I can much love all =)
