After login, you would retrieve it, clear the session variable and redirect them to the page they wanted. 2) Update: It is easiest to delete the whole photograph and re-upload it. But if you want to update, the file upload is the same, the only difference is that you need to pull up the exisiting record and update that, rather than create a new record. Everything else is the same. @Tony: 1) Redirect: Before a redirect to a login page, you would store their desired page in a session variable.

Both are excellent and I'm thoroughly enjoying the second set :) Regards, Johnathan Just wanted to drop a very quick ‘thank you’ for this video tutorial set, and your earlier PHP one.

Under Leopard and on systems that have had Snow Leopard installed on top of a previous Leopard install, there is a known issue regarding a 403 Forbidden error that occurs when you enter http://localhost/~username into Safari.

You made it easy to follow and understand and I agree with everyone that you should continue to add to this library as it is awesome. I also have a couple of questions... When a user is trying to access an admin page and gets redirected to login, is there an easy way to keep track of the page they were trying to access and redirect them to that page once they are authenticated (instead of index.php)? I would love to see the code to update the photographs in the photo_gallery. I tried using a form similar to the upload form and getting the values from the class and setting them in the fields on the form, but how do you handle the file upload? Sometimes the user might want to change the photograph and other times not? Anyway thanks again for the great courses and I look forward to hearing from you. Hi Kevin,

I hope you are fine as well as your family, I needed to put these lines on your site telling you that you are the best teacher I have ever seen in my entire life. Even though I have been learning PHP for long time before I saw your tutorials so installing wamp and all begginers tutorils were too long to watch (for me) BUT the fact is that the jump I made in PHP after watching the whole tutorials is just unbelievable. I have not yet seen all of your PHP beyond the basics tutorials because I got a little bit overwhelmed with theory on classes BUT I am 100% sure that when I complete it I will make another incredible jump. I encourage you to do more tutorials on PHP espicially working with frameworks and pick the most suitable one for us so we can improve our skills to get our scripts done in a shorter time and less overwhelming. Do more for us kevin so we don't waste our time, effort, and money for not helpful tutorials on the web, please don't forget us kevin. I wish you the best in your life kevin as well as your family! you are such a great teacher and nice person. take care. Hi Kevin!

If you deploy using WAMP, you'll have the same issue. If you deploy by installing PHP and MySQL on your own or by using a pre-installed version that your web host provides, you shouldn't experience the same problem. @Talon: I believe that’s just the way WAMP works.

Your PHP/MySQL series at Lynda proved to be the most helpful resource I have come across for learning how to build dynamic websites. There was something in the course that I could never figure out that maybe you could give me a pointer on: You taught on creating an 'initialize' php file and defined a few directory constants. You used a directory separator and I believe you were working on a mac. I'm on windows, which I thought would not matter since I was running WAMP. However, whenever I tried making an absolute path like you demonstrated, I got windows DS, and therefore the application broke. It worked as long as I stayed within WAMP's directory tree. So, if I was building a site locally, how would I test creating absolute paths that I could upload to a webserver? I hope that makes sense. That was the only part were I got a little lost. Thank you again! -Talon Kevin,
