including in a session? - Webmaster Forums - Webmaster forum for HTML, PHP, ASP, CSS and more

Hello people

I have created a Userid for my site so that when the user registers they can change their username and other details, and the system will always remember their userid.

At the moment I have made my system to ‘auto-increment’ the userid in the mysql database, so that each new user is assigned a ‘permanent’ userid.

I want to make this userid available to the session so that when the user users some features of my site, their userid is logged along with their comments, for example.

How can I get this userid to be stored inside the session?

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks

$_SESSION['userid'] = $userid;

Make Table query, store the result in mysql.
Extract the query result by mysql_fetch_array and get the data you want.
Save the session variable you want to equaling it.

When the user log in use the username to get the userid from the table. then start session via session_start(); then store the userid value using session variable for example $_SESSION['userid']=$userid;

in all the places you want to use the userid you need to first declare session_start() to obtain the values stored in session variable
