problems showing a database entry

[siphi]

Hi I\'m trying to get the users email address to be shown on the login page when he logs in. But it\'s not working. I\'m also trying to put it into a session. Heres the code.

 

<?php

// start the session

session_start();

// checks if userid and pwd are entered in form

if ($username && $password) 

{ 

// connects to the database

$Connect = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "password"); 

// selects the database user

mysql_select_db("database");

// selects all from database user where userid equals form entry uid and password equals form entry pwd

$sql = " SELECT * FROM user WHERE username = \'$username\' AND password = PASSWORD(\'$password\')";  

$result = mysql_query($sql); 

// checks user exists

if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) 

{ 

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))

{$row[email] = $email;}

// sets up variables

$valid_user = $username;

$password = $password;

// registers variables into session

session_register("valid_user, password, email");

} 

} 

?> 

 

 

<?php

// checks that valid_user and password are registered

if (session_is_registered("valid_user, password, email")) 

{ 



$_SESSION[\'valid_user\'] = $_POST[\'username\'];

$_SESSION[\'password\'] = $_POST[\'password\'];



echo "<center><br><br>You are logged in: $valid_user <br>Your password: $password <br>Your email: $email<br>"; 

echo "<center><a href="index.php?c=11">Continue to members area</a><br>";

echo "<center><a href="testsetings.php">Change your password</a><br>";

echo "<center><a href="logout.php">Log out</a><br>";} 



else 

{ 

if (!isset($username)) 

{ echo "<center>Either you have not registered or your username and or password is incorrect."; } 

else 

{ echo "<center>You are not logged in. <br>"; } 

echo "<center><a href="index.php">Login</a><br>"; } 

?>

 

Thanks.

Never mix $_SESSION and session_register()
