You can try this, but honestly, I think you would be better off switching style sheets then complete headers. You can set things like the site's banner and other images through the style sheets.

But here is what you're looking for I believe.

Create a drop down menu with a list of themes registered members can choose from. Each theme name must have a matching header.php file for it. Look at example below:

<form action=" " method=post>
<select name="the me">
<option value="he ader1.php" ;>Style 1</option> ;
<option value="he ader2.php" ;>Style 2</option> ;
<option value="he ader3.php" ;>Style 3</option> ;
</select>
<input type=submit value="Se t Theme"> ;
</form>

Once the member chooses a theme, it gets set in a column called 'themes' in the members table.


Code:

The way my site is built i dont include any banners or backgrounds in the css i put it in the head.php file because the banner may include a immage map

now back to the script when i put the code onto the page i get this error

 error said...

the image links can look like this:

<a href="< ;? echo $_SERVER['PHP_ SELF']?>?ta sk=set_theme&am p;theme=head2& quot;><im g src=" " width=30 height=30>&l t;/a>

Where &theme=head 2, head2 can be any header page you wish to include, just don't add .php to it, that will be added in the code below for calling up the correct header.

To add the theme to the db, add this on the same page:


Code:

if ($task==" set_theme"
{
$username = $_SESSION['use rname'];
$sql = "UPDATE members SET themes = '$theme' WHERE username='$use rname'";
@mysql_query($s ql);
header("L ocation: ".$PHP_SE LF."&quo t; /* Redirect back to same page */
exit;
}

Ok so i got everything working but the head.php doesnt
change

I think i found the problem what "type&qu ot; is the "theme&q uot; column supposed to be right now it is set to VARCHAR

make the 'themes' column varchar(10) NULL,

and insert the values as "head2&q uot;, "head3&q uot;, "head4&q uot;, etc...

I believe there is a problem with this code


Code:

<?
ob_start();
require_once(' db_connect.php ');

$q = "SELECT themes FROM members WHERE members.usernam e = ".$_SESSI ON['username' ]."" ;;
$result = @mysql_query($q );
if(!$result){
include(" head4.php" ;
}
else {
while ($row = mysql_fetch_arr ay($result))
{
$theme = $row['themes' ];
if("$them e != ''"
{
include($theme) ;
}
else //If no theme has been set, use the default theme.
{
include(" head4.php" ;
}
}
}
?>

Try adding the session_start() ; it should work after the member has logged in.

Code:
