Show data for logged in user

[scoobybrew]

I want to show data for logged in user, i am using sessions to login. This is the code i already have:

// Connect to server and select database.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");



//this selects everything for the current user, ready to be used in the script below

$result = mysql_query("SELECT id, points, ingame_points, ingame_money, ingame_items FROM members;
WHERE username = $_SESSION['myusername']");

//this function will take the above query and create an array
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {

//with the array created above, I can create variables (left) with the outputted array (right)
$points = $row['points'];
$id = $row['id'];
$ingame_points = $row['ingame_points'];
$ingame_money = $row['ingame_money'];
$ingame_items = $row['ingame_items'];
  }

 

 

Help  :-\?

  //this selects everything for the current user, ready to be used in the script below

  $query = "SELECT id, points, ingame_points, ingame_money, ingame_items FROM members WHERE username='{$_SESSION['myusername']}' LIMIT 1";

  if($doQuery = mysql_query($query)) {
    if(mysql_num_rows($doQuery)) {
      $user = mysql_fetch_assoc($doQuery);

      print_r($user);

    } else {
      echo 'No result returned for the query: '.$query;
    }

  } else {
    echo 'The following query failed: '.$query;
  }

 

Try the above code, tell me if it is what you're looking for

I don't know if that's all the code in case it is, you need to start the session for that page if not the session will be empty

 

add to the top of the page

<?php 
session_start();

i meant the values i got for the logged in user (id, points and others)

And for example, i want id at the top of the page, points at the bottom. How do i do that?

[marcelobm]

if you use the

$user = mysql_fetch_assoc($doQuery);

approach, you would be able to access the data simply by calling the $user['id'] at the top (of course after the query) and $user['points'] at the bottom where you want to print it out

It worked. Thanks again
