Hidden TextBox Value

[ashwood]

ive done this:

<input type='hidden' name='username' value='<?php echo $_SESSION['login_username']; ?>' />

and then my php

<?php

    mysql_connect("*****************,"*****************","**********************");
mysql_select_db("*********);

    $username = $_POST['username'];
    $message = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['lname']);
  
    mysql_query("INSERT INTO shoutbox VALUES ('$username','$message')") or die("Problem");

?>

it goes into the database BUT the username in the database.. where in the column it should say ashwood as the username is says undefined but the message shows the message..

whats the problem? thanks

"undefined" is what javascript uses for undefined variables, are you submitting the form via AJAX ?

[ashwood]

yeah its todo with the topic i have in javascript section but thats complete now it works just this bit.. should i post the ajax?

edit:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("form#submit").submit(function() {
    var username     = $('#username').attr('value');
    var lname     = $('#lname').attr('value');
        $.ajax({  
            type: "POST",  
            url: "sbox_data.php",
            data: "username="+ username +"& lname="+ lname,
            success: function() {
                $('#lname').val('');
            }
        });  
    return false;  
    });  
});
