Question

ok I have a user login that uses email address and password when they login I want to pull there session data
like username and anything else from there record
I use this
<?php
if(isset($_SESSION['email'])) {
echo $_SESSION['email'];
}
?>
it works and pulls there email address but how do I get there username? I tried changing email to username and nothing shows
my login setup
/* login functions */
function login_user($email, $password, $remember)
{
$sql = "SELECT user_pwd, uid FROM users WHERE user_email = '" . escape($email) . "' AND active = 1";
$result = query($sql);
if (row_count($result) == 1) {
$row = fetch_array($result);
$db_password = $row['user_pwd'];
if (password_verify($password, $db_password)) {
if ($remember == "on") {
setcookie("email", $email, time() + 86400,'/');
}
$_SESSION['email'] = $email;
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
/* User Logged in Function */
function logged_in(){
if (isset($_SESSION['email']) || isset($_COOKIE['email'])) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}

You need to make small changes in login_user() function.
function login_user($email, $password, $remember)
{
$sql = "SELECT user_pwd, uid, username FROM users WHERE user_email = '" . escape($email) . "' AND active = 1";
$result = query($sql);
if (row_count($result) == 1) {
$row = fetch_array($result);
$db_password = $row['user_pwd'];
if (password_verify($password, $db_password)) {
if ($remember == "on") {
setcookie("email", $email, time() + 86400,'/');
}
$_SESSION['email'] = $email;
$_SESSION['username'] = $row['username'];
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
Now you can use below code to get username in session. But make sure you must have username field in users table.
if(isset($_SESSION['username'])) {
echo $_SESSION['username'];
}
