annihilate Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Is there a session variable for a userid or something?Then you can just do your query like so:[code]$query = sprintf("SELECT firstname, lastname FROM users WHERE userid = '".$_SESSION['userid']."'");[/code] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
