LOGIN TUTORIAL

[mindapolis]

hi, I'm trying to find a good login tutorial.  Not only do I need to login but I need to be able to display the username 's name, address, etc back on the form.  I have tried googling it but I'm not finding a good tutorial that  explains how to put information back on the form.  if some knows of any good tutorials I would appreciate it.  Thanks!

When you say "back on the form", what do you mean, exactly?  Do you mean "if the login fails, put the information back into the form"?

 

That's easy enough.  In fact, it's almost trivial.  Remember that you already HAVE the information- the user gave it to you before they hit Submit.  If you're using POST, all you have to do is ask for the information back.  For example:

 

$username = $_POST['username'];

$password = $_POST['password'];

 

assuming that you named the username and password fields "username" and "password".  All you have to do is set the contents of the fields to $username and $password.  I hope that helps...

I'm sorry, I mean after a member log in, how can I display their name, address in the check out form they are filling out?

You'll need to store their user id in a session when they login and then retrieve their info when you need it.
