    <p>Currently, my code on the HTML side looks like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form action="newstory.php" method="post"&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="author" value="&lt;?php echo $loggedInUser-&gt;display_username; ?&gt;" /&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="userid" value="&lt;?php echo $loggedInUser-&gt;user_id ?&gt;" /&gt; Story Title: &lt;input type="text" name="story_name" /&gt;&lt;br&gt; Story: &lt;textarea rows="10" cols="30" name="story" /&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;input type="submit" /&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here's the PHP side:</p> <pre><code>include("dbconnect.php"); mysql_select_db("scratch", $con); $author = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['author']); $author_id = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['userid']); $story_name = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['story_name']); $story = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['story']); $sql= " INSERT INTO stories (author, author_id, story_name, story) VALUES ('$author', '$author_id','$story_name', '$story') "; if (!mysql_query($sql,$con)) { die('Error: ' . mysql_error()); } echo "Story Submitted! Redirecting to Homepage..."; //User is shown this for about 3 seconds header('Refresh: 3; URL=index.php'); mysql_close($con) </code></pre> <p>I want to get rid of the </p> <pre><code>&lt;input type="hidden" name="author" value="&lt;?php echo $loggedInUser-&gt;display_username; ? &gt;"/&gt; </code></pre> <p>Since people could easily edit that and post as any user, but I'm unsure of a good way. Same goes for userid.</p> <p>Help is appreciated!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
