Let me take a few minutes to explain codes. This is a system that I have been using for years now to forward generic information to another program. Recently I have noticed that all of my programs are differant. So, I am creating a sort of standard for my self. It you need to tell the user that they have been logged off successfully. Would you send the whole string to login.php or just send a number ? Even though I call them codes, I use the variable cd in the program. They are checked through check_code(int code). BTW: Some of these do not apply to this program, the are for completly seperate programs. But, might apply to any developing anyone else does. Feel free to come up with some of your own. code Meaning ----------------------- 0 Successfully logged off 2 Login expired 5 Bad login or password 13 Message has been sent 14 New entry added successfully 15 Entry updated successfully 16 Entry deleted successfully 17 Problem proccessing your request 18 Password changed 19 Session killed 22 Database error 23 Search returned no matchs 25 out of order 26 invalied date 27 Account updated 28 Account created 29 Account deleted 30 Settings updated 31 User group added 32 User group deleted 33 User group updated
