Internal Mailing System

[sayanab]

I like to create a Private message system in my website just like elance.com. I like the website users be able to sent private messages to each other. The copy of the message will be sent to other user's external email address and he be able to either reply from their external email or by login to my website.

Does anyone suggest me how to accomplish this?
I like to host my website in WebHostingHub

To give you an idea on how to do this. Create one new table in your database.
Table Name `users_pm`
id Record Id
tuid To user ID
fuid From User ID
fname From User Name
subject Subject of message.
msgdate Date of Message
msg Message Text

Create a function that will check to see if the current log in user has any messages.

Code: Select all

Function CheckPM()
{
   //connect to mysql database
   //mysql_select_db('database');

   $query = mysql_query("select * from `users_pm` where uid = {$_SESSION['userid']}");
   $record = mysql_fetch_array($query);

    foreach($record as $upm)
     {
        echo 'From :'.$row['fuid'];
        // and so on. Just display the messages from that user. You can include what you wanted the
        // user is view. You can create links to view and reply to the message. Just use the same table.
     }

mysql_close();   

}


Hope this helps
