OK, I have no desire to re-invent the wheel , if a script exist that is
available I'll jump at it, otherwise I'll write the code myself. Failing
to find one, I've started on the latter approach. I've written code that
places initial data fields into a MySQL database. The next step is to
identify the user on login, extract the saved data and display the
value(s) in the respective fields - This is where I am seeking guidance
primarily, apparently this can't be a static code, dynamic?
