hi all,

i need some php which will let the user personalize their links. if u go to bozblue.com, it lets you customize your personal links. i am a real newbie to php, and i would appreicate it if any could help me with the script and maybe explain at the same time.

http://www.bozblue.com

i want it so the user enters the link like google.com in a separate page, and this varaible should be desiplayed on the home page. it would cool aswell if a form was made allowing more than 5 or so personal links.

the reason i want this is becuase of the new search engine i have made. i want the search engine to become people's homepage and act as a portal, including search, weather maybe, personal links, news perhaps and other stuff.

you can visit the search engine in beta form at

there is 2 ways

the easiest way is cookies

u could just make a form that then makes a cookie then that stored on the use HDD everytime the page is access from there computer there links will show


the second way is to use mysql or even a text file(i preffer mysql ) just make a form where they enter a user name/password and the MAGIC it retrieves the links and echos them out!
