Re: Question about user management...

Sounds like a pretty typical setup. Depending on your layout, you may be able to use a templating type system for the pages as well. It's hard to tell if that's useful without more information. /tmpl/<companyid>/index.php Not sure if that's what you meant by using the company name or if you were going to do something like "company30" "company50" and such. Lots of different ways to do what you're talking about, but sounds like you're in the right path. -TG ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Brown" <parasane@gmail.com> To: "Jason Pruim" <japruim@raoset.com> Cc: "[php] PHP General List" <php-general@lists.php.net> Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2008 15:14:05 -0400 Subject: Re: [PHP] Question about user management... > On Mon, Mar 10, 2008 at 3:08 PM, Jason Pruim <japruim@raoset.com> wrote: > > Hi Everyone, Happy Monday to all of you! > > > > I am trying to think through a user management issue for a application > > I am working on.
