problem with $_POST

gervacio_stacey · September 17, 2008

- In the last part, I tried to echo the value of HOME which is a textbox. But I can't echo anything. Please help me..

well here's my code:

<?php
session_start();

include("connection.php");

$username=$_SESSION['user'];

$sql="SELECT * FROM engineering WHERE username='$username'";
$sql_result=mysql_query($sql);
$numrows=mysql_num_rows($sql_result);

if($numrows==1)
{
$stud=1;
$row=mysql_fetch_array($sql_result);
$first_name=$row['FIRSTNAME'];
$last_name=$row['LASTNAME'];
$id=$row['IDNUMBER'];
}
else
{
$sql="SELECT * FROM faculty_admin WHERE username='$username'";
$sql_result=mysql_query($sql) or die ('Connection to database lost');
$numrows=mysql_num_rows($sql_result);

if($numrows==0)
{
$error_message='Invalid username';
}
else
{
$admin=1;
$row=mysql_fetch_array($sql_result);
$first_name=$row['FIRSTNAME'];
$last_name=$row['LASTNAME'];
$id=$row['FACULTY_NUMBER'];
$name=$row['ADMIN_NAME'];
}
}
?>
