Hi....

 

im just trying to display the current login user's fullname in the field Current employee name in a file..i did the current user name to be displayed

 

This is code.

<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_SESSION['id'])){
$loginid=$_SESSION['id'];
}
if (isset($_SESSION['T_UserName'])){
$T_UserName=$_SESSION['T_UserName'];
}
if (isset($_GET['id'])){
$loginid=$_GET['id'];
//Get  login username if using GET 
$loginid=mysql_real_escape_string($loginid);
$query = "SELECT `username` FROM `details` WHERE id=$loginid";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$T_UserName=$row[0];
}
?>
<?php
if (isset($_SESSION['emp_id'])){
$loginid=$_SESSION['emp_id'];
}
if (isset($_SESSION['emp_name'])){
$CurrentEmpName=$_SESSION['emp_name'];
}
if (isset($_GET['emp_id'])){
$loginid=$_GET['emp_id'];
//Get  login username if using GET 
$loginid=mysql_real_escape_string($loginid);
$query = "SELECT `emp_name` FROM `login` WHERE emp_id=$loginid";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$CurrentEmpName=$row[0];
}
?>

 

this is form..

<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="employee" target="_self">
   <br />
   <br />
   <table border="1">
   <tr  width="569" colspan="2">
   <td>
     Current User            :  
            <input name="CurrentUser" type="text" disabled id="UserId" size="35" maxlength="35" readonly class="disabled"  value="<?php  echo $_SESSION['username'];?>"/>             Activity          :
            
             <input name="LogActivity" type="text" disabled id="ActLog" size="35" Value="List New Jobs" maxlength="35" readonly class="disabled" />   <br />
       Current Employee Name :  
            
            <input name="CurrentEmpName" type="text" disabled id="CurrentEmpId" size="35" maxlength="35" readonly class="disabled"  value="<?php  echo $_SESSION['emp_name'];?>"/>     
   </td>
       </tr>
   </table>

You are using the $_SESSION['emp_name'] session variable in the form to display the value, but no where in your code do you assign a value to this variable....

 

also you are using the POST method in your form, and the GET method in your code....

 

and you have duplicate code for the GET check....

How to do..im new newbie to php :(

[danielbala]

please i dont know whether my code is correct or not??

[cyberRobot]

@danielbala - Did you create the code?

 

 

The script looks like it was made to gather input from multiple pages. Some access the script via $_SESSION variables, while others use $_GET variables. However, the code provided doesn't show what happens when dealing with $_POST variables. Is there more code that's not being shown?

[danielbala]

nope this is the only code not gathered..

 

 

[cyberRobot]

Hmm...there has to be more code somewhere. As Muddy_Funster asked, where is $_SESSION['emp_name'] being set? Note that it could have been set somewhere else on the website.

[danielbala]

I already gave isset($_SESSION['emp_name'];

[cyberRobot]

I already gave isset($_SESSION['emp_name'];

 

All that does is check if $_SESSION['emp_name'] has been set. The code would look more like:

 

<?php
$_SESSION['emp_name'] = $name;
?>

[danielbala]

i gave as if (isset($_SESSION['emp_name'])){

$CurrentEmpName=$_SESSION['emp_name'];

} is not correct???

[cyberRobot]

If you attempt to display $_SESSION['emp_name'] as show below, what does it display?

 

<?php
//...

var_dump($_SESSION['emp_name']);  //<--- ADD THIS CODE BEFORE YOUR IF STATEMENT
if (isset($_SESSION['emp_name'])){
     $CurrentEmpName=$_SESSION['emp_name'];
}

//...
?>

[danielbala]

im getting this error

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF in C:\w

[cyberRobot]

Sounds like you may have missed the semi-colon after the var_dump().

 

<?php
var_dump($_SESSION['emp_name']);
?>

[danielbala]

im getting null and above that im getting this error also

 

Undefined index: emp_name

[cyberRobot]

NULL means that $_SESSION['emp_name'] has not been set. Since the variable isn't set, the code inside the following if statement will not execute:

 

<?php
if (isset($_SESSION['emp_name'])){
     $CurrentEmpName=$_SESSION['emp_name'];
}
?>

[danielbala]

where to set the variabale??

[danielbala]

Where to set the variable??

[cyberRobot]

Where to set the variable??

 

 

To be honest, I don't know. Since I'm not very familiar with how the code relates to the rest of the website, it's difficult to say where the $_SESSION variable needs to be set. The only thing I can say is that it needs to be set somewhere in the website where you know employee's name...which is probably on the page before getting to the form.

 

Note that I don't have a lot of time (right now) to help with the issue. Of course, you can still post more questions / code. Maybe someone else will be able to help...or maybe I'll be able to help later.
