PHPRunner General questions

In PHPRunner 5.0, I want to stamp a field with the user name of the person that logged in. Is there a value somewhere that is stored, showing who is currently logged in?

What I do is save all the relevant fields in session variables in the "After Successful Login" event.

Hi,
select and save required values in the session variables in the After Successful Login event on the Events tab.

Here is a sample:

global $conn;

$rs = db_query("select field1, field2 from TableName where Username='".$_SESSION["UserID"]."'",$conn);

$data = db_fetch_array($rs);
$_SESSION["field1"] = $data["field1"];

$_SESSION["field2"] = $data["field2"];

I think I described what I'm looking for improperly. I have PHPRunner generating a login page, using one of my tables to pull the authorized users from. AfterSuccessfulLogin, $username is available, but I was wondering if its possible to reference $username from elsewhere, like an "AfterRecordUpdated" event.

Store it in a session variable and then you can reference it from anywhere, check on www.php.net for session variables.

Thanks! I actually figured that one out, for some reason, I was not aware that you could manually set session variables (dumb on my part). Thanks for the help!
