Create a database on the fly
In some recent work I needed to have databases created with a back end application. Once the database was created from this online application it was pre filled with tables and data from another script that ran right after the database was made. To create a database with PHP we first need to connect as [...]

Selectall() with db_class

Confirm your passwords
I have added a quick function to the auth class that will allow you to check your passwords. You will need to feed the function the password field and the confirm password field. It will check if they match then return TRUE or FALSE if they don’t.
Download the db_class
[php]$auth = new auth();
$auth->validates_confirmation_of_password($password,$password2);[/php]

Use the db_class to authenticate
User authentication made easier and less of a hassle to write. Use my db_class to authenticate a user from your database, with all the options you would have if you wrote it yourself! I have also added an “Auto Start” this will start the classes you want right off the bat, saving you one line [...]
Adding on to the db_class

Enable PHP error display
A great post on style vs substance about displaying PHP errors. Many host like the planet do not come with error reporting “ON” so this htaccess file will allow you to temporarily turn them on without editing your php.ini file. I have used this trick many times, thanks to Jim Mayes for finding this!
Check out: [...]

I will be releasing the first version on this framework very shortly! With this version (0.10) you can make calls to get individual form elements or full login [...]
Authenticate a user from a MySQL database.
Authentication is important when building a web application, you don’t want others seeing information that does not belong to them. When you build an app that has “accounts” this is the login to your account. Just like going to Google and logging in to your account, it holds all your changes and settings.
To follow this [...]
