Question

HI

Im trying to figure out a way to differenciate between free users and premium users in a mysql database.

Both users need to register with thier username, password and email. When premium users register though, i need a way of distinguising them from feee uers once in the users table.

Is there a way of autamatically populating a field in the table when a user registers, or am I barking up the wrong tree

thanks

When a free user signs up, do

INSERT INTO user
  SET username = "$username",
      password = "$password",
      email = "$email",
      premium = 0

for the premium ones:

INSERT INTO user
  SET username = "$username",
      password = "$password",
      email = "$email",
      premium = 1

(don’t forget to use addslashes() with username and email; and md5() with the password)
