Hi all,
Here is what I have and what I am trying to do.
I would like the user name to be printed in the Username text box but can't
seem to get it there.
I don't want the user to have to type there username in, just click the
submit button and it is entered into the db.
Can anyone show me what I have done wrong?
$query="SELECT name FROM users WHERE uid={$session["uid"]}";
$ret = mysql_query($query);
while(list($name)=
mysql_fetch_row($ret))
print("<BR><BR><BR>$name");
?>
<table ALIGN="center" WIDTH="80%"><tr>
<td><form ACTION="<?php echo($PHP_SELF);?>" METHOD=post>
<?
print "<td><br>Username: <input type=\"text\"
value=\"$name\"
name=\"u_name\" size=30></td></tr><tr><td>";
print "<input TYPE=\"submit\" name=\"action\" VALUE=\"Submit my
entry\"></center><br><br>";
?>
</form></td></tr>
</table>
<?
if($action = "Submit my entry"){
if (!empty($name)){
$enter = "insert into entry (id, user_name) values ('','$u_name')";
mysql_query($enter) or die(mysql_error());
}
}
TIA
Jennifer
