Auto Insert Username

I would suggest storing the timeslip info in the user or userfield table of the vb database and also calling templates to display the html instead of putting it in the php file.

Honestly though I have no idea where to even start to acomplish something like that. This is pretty much my first php program to date. Another hurdle might also be down the road. I "might" make this script into its own website, or at least build a site around it. I have a network going and this would fit that theme. Is there any way to do what i'm looking for without completely integrating it? I did go ahead and move the timeslip table into the vbulletin database for now.

Try this

PHP Code:

<?php 
     echo("<a href=\"member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]\">$bbuserinfo[username]</a>"); 
?>

Cool, that worked to link the username to the profile . Thank you

Now I just need to figure out how to get that same data to post to the database.

Im not sure if it'll work, but try replacing;

PHP Code:

$sql = "INSERT INTO TIMESLIPS (DRIVER,MAKE,MODEL,YEAR,INDUCTION,ET,TRAP,LOCATION) 
VALUES ('$DRIVER','$MAKE','$MODEL','$YEAR','$INDUCTION','$ET','$TRAP','$LOCATION')"; 


with

PHP Code:

$sql = "INSERT INTO TIMESLIPS (DRIVER,username,MAKE,MODEL,YEAR,INDUCTION,ET,TRAP,LOCATION) 
VALUES ('$DRIVER',''".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($ausername))."',$MAKE','$MODEL','$YEAR','$INDUCTION','$ET','$TRAP','$LOCATION')"; 


That should be it but I dunno if it'll work (or even if thats what you want)

it doesn't appear to add the data to the database after making that change.

wait, I jumped the gun. I changed it to replace the $DRIVER variable. Now the data posts to the database, but the DRIVER field is blank i nthe results. That syntax must be just a bit off. I think we are on the right track though. My sql looks like this now

PHP Code:

$sql = "INSERT INTO TIMESLIPS (DRIVER,MAKE,MODEL,YEAR,INDUCTION,ET,TRAP,LOCATION) 
VALUES ('".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($ausername))."','$MAKE','$MODEL','$YEAR','$INDUCTION','$ET','$TRAP','$LOCATION')";

didn't think it would. There is a way I just can't think what:ermm:

[99SIVTEC]

wonder if I can use this? http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/jspass.html#place

I "might" be able to use javascript to pass the

PHP Code:

<a href=\"member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]\">$bbuserinfo[username]</a> 


variable to the form value. Forms don't seem to like html as a value so this ight be away around that.

Could work
