yup, worked fantastic, u r a star mate. thanks for your time and advice

thanks im trying it but what is going to be some_field here?

there you go ________________________ <?php session_start(); include ("global.php"); //username session $_SESSION['username']=='$username'; $username=$_SESSION['username']; //welcome messaage echo "Welcome, " .$_SESSION['username']."!<p>"; if ($_POST['register']) { //get form data $name = addslashes(strip_tags($_POST['name'])); $update = mysql_query("UPDATE users VALUES ('$_POST[name]') WHERE username='$username'"); } ?> <form action='updateprofile.php' method='POST'> Company Name:<br /> <input type='text' name='name'><p /> <input type='submit' name='register' value='Register'> </form>

Ive changed it to update but still can not see anything added, its funny because i dont even get an error :'(

I have echoed the username in the code echo "Welcome, " .$_SESSION['username']."!<p>"; and it works fine, the username shows up

Thanks for help, I have added the session_start(); but still when i insert name, i can see the name added to my column in phpmyadmin, any ideas?
