Hi Chris, What I had sent earlier were some hints, references and some code. I had recommended reading up on sessions, because it's good to know and useful to get a handle on it, you'll be able to do these things easily then. If you are pressed for time and unable to do so, here is some code you could use Do read my comments after // (slashes) <? session_start(); $_SESSION['email'] = 'php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx'; //put a real email address here to test with, later remove it and use the login email id if( empty($_SESSION["email"]) ) { header("location:store-login.php"); } //the above checks if you have a value in your email session variable. ?> Naintara -----Original Message----- From: Chris Carter [mailto:chandan9sharma@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, September 23, 2007 9:59 PM To: php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: How to capture from session and match database Hi Naintara, thanks for your code could you please advice why is the code giving this error. "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ISSET in /path/submit-store-details.php on line 4" This is coming when I am trying to use your code like this: <? session_start(); $_SESSION['email'] = 'emailAddress'; if(!empty($_SESSION["email"]) isset ($_SESSION["email"])); { header("location:store-login.php"); } ?> and then retrieving it in SQL query: $query="SELECT * FROM table WHERE email = '".mysql_real_escape_string($_SESSION['email'])."'"; Many thanks.
