If you have their ID when you generate the HTML FORM, there is no need for anything as exotic as Ajax... //get their $ID //query the DB using $ID to get $whatever echo "<TEXTAREA>", htmlentities($whatever), "</TEXTAREA>"; If you don't know their ID until the interact with other form elements, then, yeah, go with Ajax... But it would be pretty odd authentication mechanism that a front-end form would "know" my ID correctly and safely with no server-side interaction! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
