need help with php

polardude1983 · February 5, 2009

Currently I have a login screen once the person logs in it shows the persons username. the persons username is $username

so what i basically want is www.mysite.com/$username/myhome.html

so if john logs in the when he clicks the above link it will actually say

www.mysite.com/john/myhome.html

but what it actually says is www.mysite.com/$username/myhome.html it doesnt replace the persons user name with $username

below is the code

<?php
require_once('common.php');

$error = '0';

if (isset($_POST['submitBtn'])){
// Get user input
$username = isset($_POST['username']) ? $_POST['username'] : '';
$password = isset($_POST['password']) ? $_POST['password'] : '';
        
// Try to login the user
$error = loginUser($username,$password);
}

?>

Small fix there. You didn't include the variable within the echo for the link correctly. The new code there should work fine, provided there aren't any other errors on the script.
