Hey,

You can make a database request based on what the user enters in your login form. For example, if the user enters their username to login, you could say something like:

// Get Username from login form. This could be an email address or
// another type of login information...
$loginname = $_POST['NameofLoginField'];

$query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$loginname'";

// Perform Query
$result = mysql_query($query);

// Check result
// This shows the actual query sent to MySQL, and the error. Useful for debugging.
if (!$result) {
    $message  = 'Invalid query: ' . mysql_error() . "\n";
    $message .= 'Whole query: ' . $query;
    die($message);
}

//use result
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    echo $row['firstname'];
    echo $row['lastname'];
    echo $row['address'];
    echo $row['age'];
}

Hope that helps
