Ok, so i thought i might aswell make a new thread for this, because over the next day or 2 depending on how long this will take me, i will be makeing my own install so that i can configure my database easily, and that if any of my friends needs my login system, then they can install it easily... I am having problems when looking at how MyBB has done it, because it is all in OOP, and i dont really understand that to be honest, so i am making 1 from scratch...
So far, i have my dbconfig.php:
PHP Code:
<?php
$dbname = 'dbname';
$dbuname = 'dbuname';
$dbpwd = 'dbpwd';
$host = 'localhost';
?>
And my install/index.php (which i am currently working on at the moment).
PHP Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Installing 'users' Database...</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
if(isset($_GET['step']))
{
$step = $_GET['step'];
}
else
{
$step = 0;
}
switch($step)
case 0;
?>
<p>Welcome to the Cyb3r Fr3aks installer...</p>
<?php
break;
case 1:
?>
<form action="?step=1" method="post">
<input type="text" name="dbname" />
<input type="text" name="dbuname" />
<input type="password" name="dbpwd" />
<input type="text" name="host" value="localhost" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Next" />
</form>
<?php
break;
case 2:
$dbname = trim($_POST['dbname']);
$dbuname = trim($_POST['dbuname']);
$dbpwd = trim($_POST['dbpwd']);
$host = trim($_POST['host']);
if($_POST['submit'] && !empty($dbname,$dbuname,$dbpwd,$host)
{
require "../dbconfig.php";
$replace =
</body>
</html>
The current problem im having is that i dont know how i can look-up my variables stored in dbconfig.php, and then replace them with the new ones that the user input through my form...
