hidden field

[webmazter]

I have a session login that has an submit page to create an account.

I want to create another form to add other data to the same table and database after the session login. I want to use hidden fields based on the session data already in the database to asssit the user without re-entering the same data again.

can someone show me an example of 3 user entered text inputs and two existing input from the mysql database based on the session information.

userdata=host
userdata=port
userdata=rate

hiddenfield=email
hiddenfield=firstname

below is my session data.

session_start();
@ob_start("ob_gzhandler");
$email = $SESSION['email'];
$firstname = $SESSION['firstname'];

Well... look at: [man]mysql_connect/man
[man]mysql_query/man
[man]mysql_result/man or [man]mysql_fetch_array/man

Then, just create the form as you would in HTML using [man]echo/man
And of course, use the "value" tags in the form elements to autopopulate the fields.

A simple example would be (not using your information):

<?php
$conn = mysql_connect('localhost', 'user', 'pass') or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db('database', $conn);

$query = "SELECT name, email 
FROM users 
WHERE email='".mysql_real_escape_string($_SESSION['email'])."' 
AND firstname='".mysql_real_escape_string($_SESSION['email'])."' 
LIMIT 1";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$name = mysql_result($result, 0, 1);
$email = mysql_result($result, 0, 2);
?>
<form action="" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="<?php echo $name; ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="email" value="<?php echo $email; ?>">
<input type="submit" value="Submit!">
</form>
