Your signup form would have something like this:
<select name="style">
<option value="style1">Style One</option>
<option value="style2">Style Two</option>
</select>
You would than insert that value into your db table. Let's say into a field
called 'style'. The other fields would contain the user ID, username,
password, etc.
The when they login you'd retrieve the contents of the style field the same
way you'd retrieve everything else. How you do a SQL query depends on you. I
tend to use the adodb abstraction layer (http://adodb.sourceforge.net/) so
my result sets end up looking something like this:
$rsUser->fields['style'];
Yours may look completely different. In any case that's what the variable
$choice refers to in my earlier example.
Sounds like Santa forgot to stash that PHP book in your stocking! :)
