Show database information according to UserID

Hi,

I probably have a rather easy question (shame on me that I can not figure it out) and apologize in case this was already covered (could not find anything in the forum).

Our website has a "Customer Only" area and I would like to display a "Dashboard" where, after signing in, they can post, update and delete information (recipes,images, etc). However, I of course only like them to have access to the information that this particular user/customer has posted. The information is usually in 2 different DB tables (the recipes for example that the user can insert are in the "Recipes" table of the DB and the User information for this particular user is in the "User" or "Member" table of the DB)

So somehow I guess I have to link or filter the results to the userID but have not figured this out yet.

Could you give me some pointers that even I as a beginner would understand?

Thanks a lot and best regards,

AJ

when the user logs in, their user id is stored in a session variable.

on the login page, open the server behaviors panel and double click the Security Assist Authenticate user server behavior. On the Session Variables tab, make note of the name of the User ID session that is being created.


you can use this session to filter the tables to return the information for the logged in user.

when creating a recordset set the filtering section to use the user ID column and a session variable, for the session variable name, enter the name of the session created at login

Hi Jason,

Thanks a lot for your help. I am not quite sure if I am really getting it yet but I think I am getting closer.

It looks like I am getting the entries of the logged in user now but each entry repeats itself 4 times in the result pages.

Any Ideas what I might screwed up there?

Thx. again,

AJ

Hi Jason,

I think I figured it out. It seems like I had the filter set incorrectly.

Thanks a lot for your help and best regards,

Getting the current users information

Hello Jason i seem to be having the same issue as above that when i login as a User ID3 its giving me the details of User ID1 all the time. So i tried the above & now i am not seeing anything?

I have followed all the instructions above but it gives me a blank page on the browser?

I have zipped up the page for review, the login.php page is where i am logging into & the loggedin.php page is where i want to display the users information?

Can you have a look & let me know what i am doing wrong?

a blank page means that a php error is occurring but error reporting is turned off.

to turn error reporting on, add the following code at line 1:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors','on');
?>



once we know what the error is, we will be able to troubleshoot the cause.


The zip file you sent seams to be corrupted, i am not able to open t to see the files inside.
