Going from database to sessions

A user enters information, which I stored in the variable $email.

I need to find out this users first and last name every time they log in. It’s stored in the table Persons, but I need it to be stored into a variable.

For example, someone logged in using the e-mail [e-mail]. I need to find out their firstname and lastname that they signed up with.

Don’t say to type in the email manually, because I need it to be automatic when a user logs in

Answer 1

Insufficient info, I’m afraid. If you, for example, store firstnames in ‘firstname’ column, lastnames in ‘lastname’, and email in, most creatively, ’email’ the query will look like:

SELECT firstname, lastname FROM Persons WHERE email = '$email'

But it’s really just a beginning of the solution. )
