getting a userID into db

[Russell Collins]

Hi,

I want to get a userID to input in thru DA to a mysql db. (For security logging of users when inserting content)
I did it before but after I stuffed the page and redoing it again I cant seem to get it.
Is this where I would use a cookie.

Any Ideas ?

You would use SecurityAssist to create a login that would set a session variable with the UserID. Then you would refer to that session variable when inserting with DataAssist to associate that insert with the logged in user.

Thanks Ray,

That would explain why I had it working before, I deleted the Security assist code.
