An id column in a database WILL always be the same IF you allocate it as the 'primary' key and use 'auto-increments'. You virtually always need a 'unique' column in your database to identify records otherwise you have no stable way of getting the correct information back - using the Fname column is no good as many users many have the same Fname. This should be quite simple. A user signs in with their username and password to ulpoad an image - you also select their 'unique' id from the table when validating their username and password. That 'unique' id is then used to 'track' everything they upload and everything that you wish them to be able to view. You should not try to use one table to store all your information UNLESS it is very simple. You are now getting to the point where your requirements are starting to become more complex and as such information should be spilt across tables BUT be 'associated' by the 'user_id'. If you a have the user_id you can choose information from any number of tables as my previous example showed - the user_id is associated with each of the images uploaded by that user and so can easily be selected based on the used_id Having said all that unless you have some knowledge of database construction and are able to manipulate some code the chances of you succeeding in doing what you require is zero.

You would ideally need to store the image names/numbers in a seperate table and associate the user_id with the image So in your 'image' table you would have 3 columns: image_id          user_id                     image_name 1                             10                              1234 2                              10                              8096 3                              5                                  6582 4                              7                                  8765 5                              7                                  6765 6                             10                                 9876 Above you see user_id 10 has uploaded 3 images, user_id 7 has uploaded 2 images and user_id_5 has uploaded 1 image Then you would select the images from the 'images' table based on the user_id once they have signed in: SELECT image_name FROM images WHERE user_id = 10 So when a user signs in to upload an image you would append the 'user_id' to a hidden form field : <input type="hidden" name="user_id" value="<php echo $userInfo['user_id']; ?>" > Then get the user_id and the image_name once the form is submitted to store in the information in the database table  'images' $user_id = $_POST['user_id']; $image_name= $_POST['image_name']; INSERT INTO images (user_id, image_name) VALUES ('$user_id' , '$image_name') ...

I can think of a million scenarios and a million answers to each of them but ultimately if the user performs an action, whether directly by refreshing PHP or via AJAX, it should be hitting a server side script, and this timeout will ultimately decide if the action is permitted or not. It all has to be wired through it. That said, although I said it's not 100% reliable and can be tampered with, I would absolutely use a JavaScript (preference) or meta refresh technique to bounce on the client side along with the logic in the back end.

I'm not sure if this will work as I rarely use the php/mysql code generated by Dreamweaver but you could give it a try. Also the code seems a bit mangled because youre directing to login.php as the restricted secure page ($MM_restrictGoTo = "login.php";) after a successful login but I can't see any login form in the html code. Maybe the login code just go left in the page, it's hard to tell. Anyway what you ulitmately need to do is unset the $_SESSION['MM_Username'] which is set when the user logs in so insert the code that sinious posted, which is in black below between the code in red which already exists in the code you posted. I'm assuming at some point if a user HAS succesfully logged in and this is the page they go to when that occurs $_SESSION['MM_Username'] will be available to the page. After 5 second refresh the page and see if you get any message. if (!isset($_SESSION)) {   session_start(); # set an expire to 5 seconds for testing define('IDLE_MAX', 5); $msg = ''; if (!isset($_SESSION['MM_Username'])) { # new session $_SESSION['MM_Username'] = (object) ['id'=>123, 'timestamp'=>time()]; $msg = '<p>User had no session, new session created.</p>'; } else { # does the idle time exceed the max seconds? if ((time() - $_SESSION['MM_Username']->timestamp) > IDLE_MAX) { # yes, log them out.. unset($_SESSION['MM_Username']); session_write_close(); $msg = '<p>User has expired session.</p>'; } else { $msg = '<p>Users session exists and is valid, updating timestamp.</p>'; $_SESSION['MM_Username']->timestamp = time(); } } } ...

Scripts can be turned off and a meta tag can be easily disabled with developer tools in a couple seconds while someone's not looking. The server is always king when it comes to integrity and security. Anything else is just decoration. I totally agree with that, however as I have NOT tested this I'm not sure of the answer maybe you can enlighten me. Say a user was on a secure page, maybe games downloads, or video downloads etc. The user vacates their computer and doesn't come back leaving the download, secure page, still open.  I know when the page is refreshed or another page is called using the php solution the session is 'killed' but what if the page is not refreshed could the downloads still be accessible until the page is refereshed or another page is called.? The only reason I suggested a meta refresh/jQuery solution redirection to a log-out page where the php session is destroyed is because after a certain period of inactivity it actually does direct away from the 'open' secure page BUT as you say it is open to abuse IF someone knows how to navigate around it. php is obviously a more secure sloution but it lacks the ability to do anything until manually provoked into doing it - in an ideal world their would be a language that can have the security of server side scripting and the flexibility of client-side decision making. I'm certainly not advocating just a meta tag refresh without destroying the php session as the OP is deploying, that would be totally unsecure. ... View more

You could use a simple meta refresh tag - 60 seconds <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="60; url=log_out.php"> and in the 'log_out.php' page destroy the session - I think Dreamweaver has a server behaviour for doing that although I have not checked in some time. Then just redirect back to the login.php page. php alone wont 'automatically' do anything without a page refresh. Personally I'd use jQuery rather than a meta refresh tag but both do the same and the meta tag is easier to set up. ... View more

Sooner or later the image will have to be loaded, so there is no advantage to be gained by spreading them. There are a number of other good practices to follow when optimizing a website, namely Minimizing HTTP Requests : Combine CSS into one file; combine JS into one file; combine images into a sprite. Minifying HTML, CSS & JavaScript : self explanatory Optimizing Images : using PNG is often (not always) the best option; use original size where possible.

All it's doing is finding images in a directory then doing a 'foreach' loop to echo the file names to the page. Mine uses a for-while loop to produce the same results.

Jst as a comment on: Optimizing Images : using PNG is often (not always) the best option; use original size where possible. I think this has gone out of the window a bit now due to responsive design. Once you could set images to a specific column width of say 200px and use an image 200px wide to fill it but now using a responsive construction you have to set it much wider unless you want images to be max-width 200px and ranged left, which might not look great. If you want to fill the whole screen width on tablet you may need to export them at 700px wide.

Hi Nancy, Thanks, the issue I see with doing it the way you suggest (and the way I'm currenty using) is that ALL the images are echoed to the page, right.
