Retrieving user info after they log in.

Retrieving user info after they log in.
My users can create their own user accounts if they wish. Before they add another record to the database, I'd like to have DBMan pull up some information about them from a second database.

For example, after they log in, it would be real nice if it pulled up their information automatically. Like: Full name, email address, website, etc. So everytime they add a new record, that part of the form is already filled out for them.

Obviously, I'd have to fill in the user information to match up with userid, but is this possible, or has this already been discussed ?

You might want to check out the discussion under the thread "Another can this be done" -- http://www.gossamer-threads.com/scripts/forum/resources/Forum12/HTML/000395.html

for a discussion of relational databases. It might give you a place to start.
