update record on checkout page - not updating

Hi there, i have created a working ecart. Ive designed a "quick" registration page (only username(email), password, and full name required here). The I have secured the checkout page, so this redirects to the login page, then redirects backs on success.

But what Im trying to do, once the user enters the checkout page for the first time the address details that they enter on the form will be automatically saved to their User table (via an INSERT server behavior that I added which is accessed via the UserID session variable).

However when I checked out the database, those address details are not updated. And I am curious to know why not. I have attached the checkout.php file in question. if you could take a look and help :)

the action of the checkout form is to post to the confirm.php page:

<form name="ecart_checkout_form" action="confirm.php" method="post">



all form processing must occur on the forms action page the action page is where the form data is sent when the form posts.

So from what you said What I need to do is add an Update Server Behavior to the Confirm.php page. The thing is I am sure I also tried adding an Update Server behavior to the Confirm.php page as well for testing. and it also didnt update the User table. I shall double check on this. But should it work by adding a Update to the Confirm.php page (Pun intended, could you confirm this :)

excellent, i just tried it and it works to some part - i think i may need to change some variable names around as some of the details arnt saved. but I think its just a name referencing thing. Also I noticed it only seems to work if I Bind the "session shipping address details rather then the billing address details)
