Fetch user email address from database

[DrByte]

Hello,

I have a web page that needs to fetch the current users email address from the database and put it in a form.

How can I do this?

Is this "web page" a Zen Cart page? If so, just use $_SESSION['customers_email_address']

Its a static page inserted into my Zen Cart custom template.

Shouldnt I be able to do something like:

<INPUT name="useremail" type= "hidden" value="<?=$_SESSION['customers_email_address']?>">

While I wouldn't recommend using short-tags, yes the concept is correct, as long as you're in a Zen Cart page.

Or, rather than using some 3rd-party tool for collecting form data, why not use Zen Cart's own forms? Or maybe an addon such as the one discussed here: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4855

Tried putting this in tpl_header_default.php and at the top of the static page where it should be loaded (first page after user logs in)
Doesnt appear to do anything.
I am checking the cookies by entering javascript:alert(document.cookie); in my browser address bar.
What zen cart file would you recommend putting it in?

<?php
if ($_SESSION['customer_id'])
{
$var = $_SESSION['customer_id']);
setcookie( "useremail", $var);
}
?>
