variable

[techker]

hey guys in my script i used session and when a client logs in it shows his name

 

<? echo $check['name']; ?>

 

i need to make a config page and i whant to do a variable that will eco the username

i have tryed this but no success

$trainer=$check['name'];

If you are storing the username in a session, then that is where you will have to look for it:

 

$trainer = $_SESSION['name'];

[techker]

i have tryed that and it does not work it is in the script that the variable $check is already done

 

i juste need to use it.

 

$trainer=$check['name'];

you are forgetting to put session_start(); at the top of each page

[techker]

im already in a variable.

 

is it possible to include it ?

 

 

$check['name']

 

can i even put it in a query?WHERE trainer=

 

[trq]

We need to see more code. Your not being descriptive enough about the actual issue at hand.

[techker]

see my client is using login manager.in a page there is the includes.

 

so all the variable are alredy done.

 

like this $check =$CheckSecurity->page_check($USERNAME, $PASSWORD,$dbhost,$dbusername,$dbpass,$dbname);

 

so when i do $check['name'] it gives me the client login name.

 

now i need to create a variable that will include the client login name.

 

$documents=Scheck['name']

[trq]

so when i do $check['name'] it gives me the client login name.

 

now i need to create a variable that will include the client login name.

 

According to the information you just provided $check['name'] holds your users login name. So what exactly is the problem?

 

Again I say, you need to be more descriptive.

[DeanWhitehouse]

Agreed, you aren't asking a question. :s

 

???

 

Make sure the page with the var $check is included on the same page where you want to create the new var.

[techker]

ok..if i can't find the original $check var..then i want to use it.Can i intergrate it then?

 

$check['name']

 

in

another variable that i can make?

 

and in a query ?

 

$fileSQL=" SELECT *

FROM `trainers_clients`

WHERE `trainer` = $check['name'] ////here

LIMIT 0 , 30 ";

$fileLIST=mysql_query($fileSQL);

 

[DeanWhitehouse]

What do you mean can't find?

Is it located in the script that you are using

[techker]

ya but his script is very complicated and secure along with messy..

 

that is why i don't want to wast time looking for it..

[trq]

Your making no sense.

[techker]

ok can i include this  $check['name']in  a query???

[DeanWhitehouse]

Try it

[trq]

ok can i include this  $check['name']in  a query???

 

Of course, any variable can be included into a query. A query is a string like any other.

[techker]

ok so i know we can but is there any links or name i can google on how to ???that was my mane question.

[trq]

All you need do is concatinate it into your query. eg;

 

$sql = "SELECT * FROM foo WHERE username = '" . $check['name'] ."'";

 

Or imbed it directly within a double quoted string....

 

$sql = "SELECT * FROM foo WHERE username = '{$check['name']}'";
