Add info from 2 separate forms

[xianaier]

Hi
can I get some advice on whether this is workable, or even best practice.

I have a database with a login and registration script. It records basic info like name, username and password.

Once registered and logged in, I'd like them to include more info like phone, email and avatar.

Can all that just go into 1 table, and use session info to locate member_id? Do I use an INSERT query or an UPDATE query?

You can do this in more then one action. That is how most systems work. You would do an initial INSERT query when the user registers, and then use an UPDATE query when the record exists.

In MY SQL you can add to different form but it the major issue is then in what manner you want to add the form. If you want to change the database then you can change easily by two way first one is by the script and another one is manually or directly opening database.
