How to add input binding to login form

have a login form with a user name field (email address) and 2 password fields (password and ID from a recordset on the page the login form will redirect upon successful login.
I want the login text fields to maintain the input the person entered when they may have put in incorrect information and fail the login, kind of like a validation binding.

you will need some hand coding for this.

create a recordset to look up the entered username, another to lookup the entered password.

add a set session value behavior to store the username if the username record is not empty.

add another for the password if the password recordset is not empty.

use those session to populate the text fields.

Jason,

when you create the recordset for the entered username, does it lookup the username from a db table? If so, how does the entered username get inserted into the db table?

"when you create the recordset for the entered username, does it lookup the username from a db table"

yes, the idea is to create a recordset that looks up the entered username to see if it exists in the table

"how does the entered username get inserted into the db table?"

when the user registers, it stores the user name in the table

trying to understand the need for recordset since the login customer information (email and password) is already in a table which the authenicate user behavior looks up in order to pass the login.

the authenticate user behavior doesn't save the user name and password on login, by default it will only save the userID on login success, but you aren't asking about login success you are asking about login failure.

since you want to maintain the user name and / or password in the form if login fails but one of them where correct, you need to lookup whether they where correct using a recordset, then save into a session variable.

thanks Jason.
Ok I understand that.
Can't I use the same table with the username and password for the lookup recordset? And the recordset sql would have a variable like
WHERE login.username = var1
and var1 is $_POST['username']

and then the session for username would be the username from the recordset
and then the value of the textfield, username would be the session?

yes, that is correct.
