vb.org Archive - View Single Post - How Can I insert the username of who submitted a form to the database?

EquinoxWorld · #3 07-13-2011, 04:27 PM

Right but how does the form know that? Should I just insert that while I'm inserting the form values? I don't get how that knows that that form was submitted by that user. Anyone can explain please??

This is my form:

HTML Code:

{vb:stylevar htmldoctype}
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="{vb:stylevar textdirection}" lang="{vb:stylevar languagecode}" id="vbulletin_html">
<head>
<title>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle} - {vb:raw pagetitle}</title>
   {vb:raw headinclude}
   {vb:raw headinclude_bottom}
</head>
<body>
    
    {vb:raw header}
    
    {vb:raw navbar}

    
<div id="pagetitle">
   <h1>{vb:raw pagetitle}</h1>
</div>

<div id="usercp_content">

{vb:raw oftw_sidemenu}

<div class="cp_content" style="width: 80%; float: right;">
<h2 class="blockhead">Contests Of The Week</h2>
<div class="blocksubhead">
<center><form action="nominate.php" method="post">
Enter Image URL to Nominate: <input type="text" name="imgurl"><input type="submit" name="submit">
</form>
</center>
</div>
        {vb:raw print_nominations}
</div>


</div>				
    {vb:raw footer}

  </body>
</html>

This processes the form:

PHP Code:


			
<?php 

require_once('./global.php');

define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);


if (!isset($_POST['submit'])) { 


} 
else { 

    $imgurl = empty($_POST['imgurl']) ? die ("ERROR: Enter a imgurl") : mysql_escape_string($_POST['imgurl']);
     
    // create query 
    $db->query_write("INSERT INTO oftw_nominations (imgurl) VALUES ('$imgurl')");
    
    header( "refresh:0; url=http://development.aniworlds.net/oftw_nominations.php" );
    // close connection 
    mysql_close($connection); 
} 

?>

Any ideas how I can also insert the username of whoever submitted this form?
