Adding new fields Part 2

This post is the step 2 for adding new input in form register.

Then after having added new fields into the login system, it's time to view those change when we are logged:

1- open userinfo.php for editing, modified the form to show new input field creation

Code:


/* Firstname */
echo "<b>Firstname:</b> ".$req_user_info['firstname']."<br>";


2- open useredit.php for editing, modified the form to show new input field creation

Code:


<tr>
<td>Firstname:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="firstname" maxlength="32" value="
<?
if($form->value("firstname") == ""){
  echo $session->userinfo['firstname'];
}else{
  echo $form->value("firstname");
}
?>">
</td>
<td><? echo $form->error("firstname"); ?></td>
</tr>


3- open process.php for editing, add arguments for $session->editaccount class function.

Code:


  /**
    * procEditAccount - Attempts to edit the user's account
    * information, including the password, which must be verified
    * before a change is made.
    */
  function procEditAccount(){
      global $session, $form;
      /* Account edit attempt */
      $retval = $session->editAccount($_POST['curpass'], $_POST['newpass'], $_POST['email'],  $_POST['firstname']);

      /* Account edit successful */
      if($retval){
        $_SESSION['useredit'] = true;
        header("Location: ".$session->referrer);
      }
      /* Error found with form */
      else{
        $_SESSION['value_array'] = $_POST;
        $_SESSION['error_array'] = $form->getErrorArray();
        header("Location: ".$session->referrer);
      }
  }


4- open session.php for editing, add arguments to the function

Code:


  /**
    * editAccount - Attempts to edit the user's account information
    * including the password, which it first makes sure is correct
    * if entered, if so and the new password is in the right
    * format, the change is made. All other fields are changed
    * automatically.
    */
  function editAccount($subcurpass, $subnewpass, $subemail, $subfirstname){


........


4.1- Validate errors

Code:


/*Firstname error checking */
 $field = "firstname";     
if(!$subfirstname || strlen($subfirstname = trim($subfirstname)) == 0){       
  $form->setError($field, "* firstname not entered");     
}         
  $subfirstname = stripslashes($subfirstname);


4.2- Update the DataBase with the new informations

Code:


/* Change Email */
if($subfirstname){
$database->updateUserField($this->username,"firstname",$subfirstname);
}


that's it...
