Can someone help me store a few field values of 1 user into a session variable?
I'm guessing that this would be done when a user logs in. I would like to store a few things like their m_country and m_sex into a couple session variables, so that further in my site (ie my chat room) i can insert the information directly into the chat users profile info. eg:
<applet blah blah>
<param name="username" value="<%= sesison("sesName") %>">
<param name="profile_country" value="<%= sesison("sesCountry") %>">
<param name="profile_sex" value="<%= sesison("sesSex") %>">
<param name="loginstatus" value="autologin">
</applet>
I dont want to have to query the snitz database on my chatpage to get the values cause its not efficient.

I dont know where abouts to get the data from.
I know how to connect to the database and get the rs (recordset) value to a variable, but the record set is not open on the login page, so where can i get the values from?
My only method that i can think of is to open the FORUMS_MEMBERS table, then do a SELECT query on the current logged in username, but I want to avoid having to connect to the database. On the login page, i notice that the fName and fPassword variables are populated (1 from the form, and the other is a mystory to me)
fName = strDBNTFUserName
fPassword = ChkString(Request.Form("Password"), "SQLString")
but i wanna get the country and sex into variables too. surley i dont have to open a recordset on this page? the recordset was obviously opened and closed somewhere prior to the logging in check.
Get what im on about now?

The only way to get data from the database is to query the database.

how do you know this? can you find on the page where the recordset was opened? if so, just set your variables there.

Ok, fair enough!
What Unique Identifier will i select from the databse then? Are usernames unique? or is there someway i can get the current users MEMBER_ID to do my select instead?
eg:
SELECT * FROM FORUM_MEMBERS WHERE MEMBER_ID = 'XXXXXXXX'
or if usernames are unique can i do:
SELECT * FROM FORUM_MEMBERS WHERE M_USERNAME = 'XXXXXXXX'
or alternativly:
SELECT * FROM FORUM_MEMBERS WHERE M_USERNAME = 'XXXXXXXX' AND M_PASSWORD = strEncodedPassword = sha256("" & fPassword) |

| If you include inc_header.asp, the MemberID variable will give you the Member_ID for the logged in member, which is the primary key for the members table. If a user is logged in, the mlev variable will give you a value > 0. |

| There is a function already being called (chkUser, I think) that happens at login. This is a good place to add code to pull user information because the data base is already open to the user being logged in, and then you don't need a separate data base access for this. We use this to determine whether the user is on probation (all posts moderated) or not. |
