Menu
Ive begun to build a simple forum, nothing huge but I do have a question. When Im doing the login im going to use a session. to tell who the user is would I just set a session variable to username like this for my login page after they type in username and pass
[code=php]
$query=”SELECT * FROM `reforum_users` WHERE username=’$_POST[‘username’] LIMIT 1;
$result=mysql_query($query);
$row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
if($row[‘password’]==$_POST[‘passsword’])
{
$_SESSION[‘loggedin’]=”1″;
$_SESSION[‘username’]=$row[‘username’];
echo”Thank you for logging in”;
}
else
{
$_SESSION[‘loggedin’]=”0″;
$_SESSION[‘username’]=NULL;
echo”Incorrect Password for corresponding username please try again”;
}
With this could I reference username throughout the rest of the forum.
Heres my progess so far to anyone interested [url]http://www.complexfellow.com/forum/

[b]ok When I echo out the posts I use a while loop to echo out everything from the table reforum_posts, how would I echo out the corresponding post count for the user from reforum_users?[/b][/QUOTE]
