RadiPanel Shoutbox Help +Rep

[Jack!]

Im in the process of coding a shoutbox for radipanel, and i was wondering how i would go about fetching the names from the database, so people dont put in there name manually, because that could cause problems as people impersonating others

Thanks!

+Rep for all help!

$username_query = $db->query( "SELECT username FROM users WHERE id =  '{$array['author']}'" );
$username_array = $db->assoc( $username_query );
$username = $username_array['username']; 

Something like that

Thanks for that! +Rep

Were abouts would it be stuck in, in place of a username field?

EDIT: Sorry gotta spread!

Why not put it in a hidden field? or fetch the session?

It's hard to tell you where to grab the username and where to store it when we can't see the code and don't know the table names.
