<?php

$username = mysql_real_escape_string($_SESSION['myusername']); // escape input going INTO the database

$query = "SELECT user_info.username, user_info.`password`, user_info.UserID, user_info.EmailAddress, user_info.Address, user_info.Postcode, user_info.FirstName, user_info.LastName FROM user_info WHERE user_info.username = '$username'";

$results = mysql_query($query) // DONT escape the entire SQL query...BAD BAD BAD
   or die(mysql_error());
   
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($results)) {
   extract($row);
   
   echo $username;
   echo $password;
   echo $UserID;
   echo $EmailAddress;
   echo $Address;
   echo $Postcode;
   echo $FirstName;
   echo $LastName;
