I have a problem is passing the values accoss in the SQL in the PHP code below. The $z varible will get a value from the session, the $z value will then be used in the SQL. However the value dose get passed across to the SQL code.


<?
$db_conn = new COM("ADODB.Connection");
$connstr = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=". realpath("./Database1.mdb").";";
$db_conn->open($connstr);
$z = $_SESSION['user'];
$MySql = "SELECT * FROM users_details WHERE user_id = (SELECT users_id FROM users_login WHERE Username = '$z')";
$rs = $db_conn->Execute($MySql);

while(!$rs->EOF){
$user_id = $rs->Fields("user_id")->value;
$surname = $rs->Fields("surname")->value;
$forname = $rs->Fields("forname")->value;
$DOB = $rs->Fields("DOB")->value;
$gender = $rs->Fields("gender")->value;
$email= $rs->Fields("email")->value;

$rs->MoveNext();

?>

Any ideas how i can passed the value across, or is there another meathod of doing this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

When working with session, the very first line of code needs to be:


What we don't see is the previous page that creates the session variable $_SESSION['user']; would expect that the "user information cam from a form as part of a log in.... ?

Once again to set the $_SESSION['user']; you need to have the above code on the very first line, and then you need to name the session with the users information. The code below grabs the info from a form.
